Selar VP Breathable Resin


Highly breathable materials for foods where high respiration is needed for food safety and shelf life extension
As a primary substrate it offers controlled breathability for either CO2, or O2 transmission, as needed for foods that respire. Meets FDA breathability guidelines for fresh seafood packages. Reduces product purge loss leading to lower overall cost No open bags. More secure than micro-perforated alternatives Can be made shrinkable without losing permeability for more aesthetically

pleasing packages
Complies with food contact regulations in the U.S. and EU Some grades have excellent seal performance in multi-layer film constructions where renewable source content is desirable (EU food contact only) Selar VP is a developmental grade. Please discuss your oxygen transmission needs with your DuPont representative.
