Food packaging challenges

Food & beverage packages must not only grab consumer attention on the shelf, they must also protect flavor and quality, and secure from leaks. Consumers expect packages to be robust and have a long shelf life, but also to be easy to open and to use a minimum of packaging. Packagers are constantly on the lookout for such a balance – a packaging solution that creates a barrier to oxygen, moisture and UV light but is still appealing, convenient, safe, and easy to use.

The Solution

DuPont™ Bynel® resins

DuPont™ Bynel® coextrudable adhesive resins, often called tie layers, help packaging manufacturers bring together and optimize barrier, heat seal and other functions in multi-layer structures such as films, bottles, tubes and thermoformable sheet.

DuPont offers the packaging industry‘s broadest selection of these specialized resins. Contact us to see our full product portfolio.

DuPont™ Selar® resins

DuPont™ Selar® PA amorphous nylon barrier resins provide unique oxygen barrier properties when wet or chilled, making the resins a perfect choice for flavor-sensitive refrigerated foods and beverages. In bottles, jars and other rigid structures, Selar® PA offers the crystal clarity of glass, but with lower weight and better impact resistance. Selar® PA can be blended with nylon 6 and with EVOH to provide certain property and processing advantages.

Advantages include, depending on the blend of the substrate:• Crystal-clear presentation• Leak-free durability• Dependable seal-through• Excellent adhesion• High hot tack strength• Reduced flavor transfers

Renewable Materials

At DuPont Packaging, we believe innovation and science can help reduce the amount of packaging materials used and enable a future where all packaging is recycled or its value is recovered. We also believe that renewably sourced materials are an important key to our future and collaborative innovation is necessary to turn this vision into reality. Selar® VP is one of our renewable ma-terials: ideal substitutes for petroleum-based products without compromising package performance or aesthetics.

France’s Chamois d’Or Cheese gets perfect packaging

Packaging converter, Lawson Mardon Morin, worked with DuPont™ to develop a permeable packaging film that would be ideally suited to soft cheese with surface mold. Bynel® and Selar® were chosen for this unique application because in combination they give the packaging film specific barrier properties and optimize the cheese maturation.
