all important sales propositions not just for single and small households. Examples of
typical applications include small-piece products such as sweets, nuts, snacks and
cheese-cubes, which should not dry up after opening. Grimbacher adds: “Our core
competency lies in coextrusion. We even extrude our Multipeel™ seal layer ourselves.
This gives us the freedom to constantly enhance the material.”
Numerous grades from the comprehensive range of Surlyn packaging resins are
®
available for use as a food contact or seal layer in flexible packaging. Depending on
the grade selected, they are suitable for use in the highly efficient blown film or
extrusion coating processes.

Securely sealed packaging that reliably preserves its
contents
“The ability to seal both quickly and reliably is a basic requirement for our
customers’ highly efficient, horizontal and vertical form, fill and seal (HFFS
and VFFS) product lines,” explains Carolin Grimbacher, managing sharehol-
der at Südpack. “This particular Surlyn grade, jointly specified with DuPont,
®
provides several benefits in this regard when compared with other sealants.
First, thanks to its low minimum seal temperature, less heat energy is requi-
red. Second, Surlyn seals reliably over a very wide temperature range, and
®
its hot tack strength is very high.”
