Conventional high-barrier thermoforming films rely on polyamide (PA / nylon) for formability and toughness, which makes them multi-material and difficult to recycle. QuenchTek Mono removes PA entirely and delivers the oxygen barrier from a thin EVOH layer along with multiple PE layers — so it stays mono-material and recyclable.
No. The EVOH core maintains a high oxygen barrier, while the multi-layer PE structure provides the toughness and deep-draw performance — so you keep the protection and shelf life expected from a high-barrier film.
QuenchTek Mono is designed for recycling in existing PE / film streams and engineered in line with PPWR design-for-recycling criteria. To substantiate recyclability claims in your market, we recommend pairing it with recognised certification (e.g. RecyClass).
No. QuenchTek Mono is engineered as a drop-in for existing thermoforming lines, with performance comparable to PA-based high-barrier films.
