Europe: LyondellBasell unveils food packaging concept

LyondellBasell launches Toppyl RC3000 that is formulated to stick directly to traditional polyethylene food containers, providing a strong seal to keep foods fresh, while remaining easy to open and close.

It eliminates the need for food packaging made with hot melt adhesive, which can make opening packages difficult.

“Today’s packaging must be practical, effective, safe and easy to open without the need for a cutting instrument,” said Stefano Pasquali, marketing manager PB-1 specialties.

“Toppyl RC3000 provides a strong seal to keep foods fresh for easy storage and handling of delicate food, including meat, fruit, vegetable and cheese.”

Packaging made with Toppyl RC3000 recloses easily and remains sealed.

Product testing by a large film producer demonstrated that food packaging successfully opened and closed with the same success after 10 uses as compared to its first usage.

The company says Toppyl RC3000 satisfies all food contact requirements in Europe.
