EVOH Flexural Modulus Too Low
Problem Phenomenon
EVOH product flexural modulus 20% below design value
Cause Analysis
EVOH soft, modulus low; filler addition insufficient or interface poor, no reinforcing effect; crystallinity too low
Solution
1) Add 10-15wt% rigid filler to increase modulus; 2) Nucleating agent to raise crystallinity; 3) Select high modulus grade
Key Takeaway
Low flexural modulus is caused by material softness and insufficient filler; adding rigid filler is key
