A class of solid or semi-solid products of synthetic origin, having barrier properties when used in multilayer applications.

OBS

If the product to be contained is an aqueous product, an internal layer of a good water-vapor barrier is needed, eg., polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or PVDC. If the product is a relatively nonhygroscopic material, a nylon, PET or PVC can be used.

Products such as plastic bottles and trays make use of barrier resins.
