Moisture barrier films, with PVDC coatings being a premier example, are essential for protecting products that are sensitive to humidity and moisture. Moisture can cause a wide range of problems in packaged goods, including product degradation, loss of crispness, clumping, corrosion, and microbial growth. PVDC is an exceptional moisture barrier, providing superior protection against water vapor transmission across a wide range of humidity levels.

PVDC moisture barrier films are used in a variety of applications, including the packaging of dry foods, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. In the food industry, they are used to package products such as crackers, cookies, and snacks, maintaining their crispness and preventing them from becoming stale. In pharmaceuticals, they protect hygroscopic drugs and tablets from moisture-induced degradation. PVDC latex is engineered specifically for pharmaceutical blister packaging, providing customizable moisture barrier performance to meet the unique needs of sensitive products . By adjusting the coating thickness on the film, water vapor barrier levels can be enhanced, providing reliable protection against moisture .

The increasing demand for moisture-sensitive products is driving the market for moisture barrier films. PVDC latex offers high-performance water vapor barrier properties essential for maintaining the stability of pharmaceutical products . The development of high-performance moisture barrier films that are also more sustainable is a key area of innovation. Companies are developing PVDC-coated films that combine superior barrier performance with recyclability or reduced environmental impact . Advanced PVDC coatings now enable downgauging, reducing film thickness without compromising protective properties, which reduces raw material consumption and packaging weight . However, PVDC films and coatings have been a major casualty of the sustainability agenda, with demand falling sharply in Europe and sluggish growth across other regions .
