VBseal has exceptional resistance to water vapour and heat-sealing properties, all in one coating. It Joins Melodea’s existing eco-friendly barrier coating products, MelOx™ for oxygen and VBcoat™ for water vapour and oil and grease. The material is designed to line packaging of fresh foods, cereals, fast foods, confectionary such as biscuits and ice-cream as well as detergents and cosmetics. It is fully recyclable,
gives high
performance protection, and in coating machines is a one-stop solution for both water vapour and heat sealing, avoiding the need for two different passes, making it easy to apply and reduces production costs. The VBseal is free of paraformaldehyde (PFA) and
bisphenol A (BPA) and is FDA and BfR- compatible.
New pilot plant With
the sustainable growing demand packaging for solutions,
manufacturers are constantly evaluating emerging solutions at a scaled pilot.

The new centre will serve companies across the packaging value chain in exploring sustainable barrier solutions in plastic, paper, and bioplastics.
