FEATURES OF BESELA®

High Abuse Pouches

Ultra high barrier
BESELA® 's ultra oxygen barrier enables shelf lives of 1 to 1.5 year, which allows BESELA®  to enter the packaging market segment originally dominated by metal cans, glass jars and aluminium pouches.

Superior heat resistance
BESELA®  can be used for retort and pasteurisation applications. Contrary to other barrier foils, gas barrier of BESELA®  improves during retort and boiling.

Abuse resistance
Because of the flexible organic coating, BESELA®  has a superior abuse resistance compared to other metallized materials. Therefore BESELA®  is very suitable for (high) retort and boiling applications, institutional heavy weight pillow packs/pouches as well as for usage on high speed forming and filling machines.

Microwavability
As a result of the BESELA®  ultra high barrier without the need for metallized coatings, the pouches or film can be offered with high transparency and microwave possibilities.

Environmental benefits and consumer convenience
