EVAL™ film is a monolayer film made by Kuraray in Japan, composed of either F-type or E-type EVAL™ resins. It can be easily laminated to other materials. Depending on the application requirements, it can be used as either the surface, interior or sealing layer.
Several grades exist with different properties, depending on the EVAL™ type, orientation and surface treatment.
| Film type | Film grade | Properties | Typical use/application |
| Oriented type | EF-XL | High barrier | Food, Non-food, Medical and pharma |
| Cast type | EF-F | High barrier | Food, Non-food, Medical and pharma, Deep-draw moulding |
| Cast type | EF-E | Thermoformable | Food, Non-food, Medical and pharma, Deep-draw moulding, Barrier sealing |
| Metallised type | VM-XL | Exceptionally high barrier | Industrial use |
| Pre-coated type | HF-M | Suitable for wallpaper | Stain-resistant, durable wallpaper |

EVAL™ film is resistant to stress cracking, and its barrier properties are not affected by the stress and strain of converting, filling and transportation/storage.
