What is Soarno L?
Soarnol™ is an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer developed by Mitsubishi Chemical's own technology. It has high gas barrier properties, oil resistance and high transparency derived from vinyl alcohol structure as well as moisture resistance and extrudability comes from ethylene unit. Additionally, Soarnol consists of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen so no harmful gases are generated when it is incinerated, and its combustion heat is half that of polyethylene.
