FEATURES OF BESELA

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
BESELA pouch offers minimized weight and volume compared to metal cans and glass packing. In addition, BESELA pouch, when handled appropriately, is easy and safe to open, to handle and to dispose of. It can also be used in the microwave.
