4-Layer COEX Technology

"Why Multilayer Matters"

Multilayer barrier packaging uses polymers with high barrier qualities alongside the specific attributes each product's packaging needs. Through blown coextrusion — simultaneously extruding two or more polymers — multilayer packaging is built using multiple extruders, one of which carries the barrier material itself.

Depending on what your product needs to survive — moisture, oxygen, chemical exposure or temperature swings — containers can be built with up to 4 layers of protection.

Key Barrier Properties

What multilayer COEX protection delivers

Resistance to Aggressive Products

Built to contain and protect aggressive chemical formulations without compromise.

Waterproof Against Solvents

Waterproof performance that holds up against solvent-based products.

High-Temperature Resistance

Engineered to withstand high temperatures across storage and transport.

Moisture & Oxygen Prevention

Prevents moisture and oxygen permeation that could degrade sensitive products.

Blown coextrusion process

How Blown Coextrusion Works

Blown coextrusion is the process of simultaneously extruding two or more polymers to create a single, unified container with multiple distinct layers.

Each layer serves a purpose. One layer carries the barrier material itself, while others provide structural strength, chemical resistance or specific performance attributes the product requires.

The result is a single container with up to 4 layers of protection — engineered based on what your product needs to survive.

  • Multiple extruders working simultaneously
  • Barrier material carried by a dedicated layer
  • Up to 4 distinct layers of protection
  • Layer structure engineered around product needs

Sustainability Built In

Better packaging, less material, smaller footprint

Recyclable Containers

Designed for recyclability — subject to confirmation of the exact product and recycling specification.

No Separation Needed

No separation required between treated and untreated packaging for recycling — confirm applicability.

Lightweighted Design

Less plastic per container, lower transport cost and a smaller overall footprint.
