LyondellBasell, an American multinational chemical firm, has developed Toppyl RC3000 which is designed for packaging ready-to-eat food products, while providing a new level of convenience without compromising protection.
Toppyl RC3000 is a new addition to the company's Toppyl line of polyolefin resins. It is formulated to stick directly to traditional polyethylene food containers to keep foods fresh, while remaining easy to open and close.
Complying with all food contact requirements in Europe, the new concept eliminates the need for food packaging made with hot melt adhesive which makes packages difficult to open.
LyondellBasell PB-1 specialties marketing manager Stefano Pasquali said, "Toppyl RC3000 provides a strong seal to keep foods fresh for easy storage and handling of delicate food, including meat, fruit, vegetable and cheese."
The company stated that testing on Toppyl RC3000 by a large film producer revealed that food packaging successfully opened and closed.
LyondellBasell manufactures products at 58 sites in 18 countries for packaging, electronics, automotive parts, home furnishings, construction materials and biofuels.
