Our Heritage is Polyester


Based on Wallace Carothers' pioneering work, the polyester film process was developed on both sides of the Atlantic

First oriented PET polyester film

DuPont starts up the first commercial polyester filmline in Circleville, OH

First commercial productionof in line coextruded heat sealable films

DuPont develops OL heat seal polymer chemistry

First launch of a UK readymeal using Mylar® OL as the lidding film

Starpack award for “perfectlamb roast” in high barrier ovenable pouch

UK Poultry market moves to ovenable flow wrap structures

What does this mean to us:

All of our production sites are ISO 9001 and BRC/IoP grade A certified.

Every individual component within the base film (monomers, catalysts, slip modifiers, anti-oxidants, print coatings, etc) and every component in the heat seal coating (monomers, slip additives, antifog, antiblock, adhesion modifiers, etc) has to be fully compliant with EU food contact legislation and tested to conditions laid out in the Plastic Implementation Measure Regulation (EC) 10/2011.

All Packaging films are externally tested at independent accredited labs to extreme worst case conditions:

OML testing

• Simulant A (hydrophilic foods), 4 hours at reflux • Simulant B (acidic foods), 4 hours at reflux• Simulant D2 (fatty foods), 2 hours at 175°C

SML testing

• is carried out as appropriate in relevant simulant

Additionally we have tested for 2 hours at 220°C in simulant E based on customer requests.

The films we have recommended for use in conventional ovens are fully compliant with the tests covering 2 hours cooking at temperatures above 175°C.

Mylar® retains most of its mechanical properties over a wide range of temperatures and is suitable for use in frozen applications. The melting point of Mylar® is 255°C but we would not recommend the use of any of our films at oven temperatures above 220°C. The majority of the Mylar® 850 and OL range of products have been tested and approved for use at high temperature but please refer to the product specific food contact statement for any specific temperature, time and product restrictions.

Testing and compliance

Safety is one of our core values and is at the heart of everything we do.All of our packaging films comply with the Food Contact Framework Regulation (EC) 1935:2004, which stipulates they must not:


• Endanger human health• Bring about an unacceptable change in the composition of the food• Bring about deterioration in the organoleptic (taste) characteristics of the food

Ready Meal lidding filmsCooking with Mylar®

As the pioneer and market leader, we have developeda range of products designed for the challenges of the ready meal industry covering a wide variety of seal-peel requirements and suitable for practically every tray material.

• Chemistries tailored for mono CPET, co-ex CPET,PP, cartonboard, pulp and aluminium trays

• Wide range of peel characteristics ranging from easy peel to permanent seal

• Reliable “flat” heat seal performance giving consistent seals from 120 – 200°C

• Excellent seal through contamination • Mylar® has excellent clarity which combined with our class leading antifog properties delivers stunning shelf appeal for chilled ready meals with a “watch band” sleeve

• Through tailored base film and heat seal chemistries we can deliver lidding films which withstand retort processes

Mylar® is the trusted film brand which has revolutionised the world of ovenable packaging. All of our products are fully tested in accordance with the very latest regulatory requirements for food contact.

DuPont Teijin Films is the world’s largest manufacturer of heat sealable polyester films. With over five decades of experience in high temperature packaging, Mylar® is the original and trusted brand that helped define the ready meal revolution across the world.


Ovenable Films for pre-made bags and pouches

Pre-made bags and pouches were one of the earliest uses of Mylar® polyester films for oven cooking and are still widely used today.


Packing in pre-made bags delivers an efficient way to pack product in store, and also a low cost way to test the concept of Cooking with Mylar® without the need for significant capital investment.

Mylar® 852 has unique slip characteristics for trouble-free bag manufacture, ease of opening and product loading.

Pouches are easily heat sealed with a broad seal window from 140 – 200°C, and Mylar® will run on most standard vacuum bag equipment.

Extended shelf life for fresh protein can be achieved by incorporating the Mylar® CB range of products into the final structure.




• “Restaurant quality” food at home • Convenience and safety of “no touch” cooking • No mess, no fuss • No cross contamination, less cleaning • Reduced cooking time • Added value for retailers and packers • Ability to add less flavouring

Ovenable Films for horizontal and vertical flow wrapCooking with Mylar®

Mylar® is the trusted film brand which can be used safely for high temperature oven cooking with complete assurance. Our products are fully approved to the very latest regulatory requirements for food contact.

DuPont Teijin Films havedeveloped a range of ovenablefilms which are suitable for use in horizontal or vertical flow wrap packaging. Applications range from fresh to frozen, retail andfood service and individual portions to full primal cuts.The Mylar® range has been developed to run on most existing machinery eliminating the need for capital expenditure. Film properties have been modified to improve slip and heat seal performance, reducing the need for a tray and therefore contributing towards packaging and cost reduction.

Heat seal chemistry can be tailored from “destruct” permanent seals through to self venting seals, and extended shelf life for fresh protein can be achieved by incorporating the Mylar® CB range of products into the final structure.




Mylar® COOK for Thermoformable Pouches

The revolutionary Mylar® COOK technology combines all the benefits of cooking with Mylar®with the convenience, shelfappeal and pack integrity of thermoformed pouches.


Thermoformed vacuum packs enable MAP(Modified Atmosphere Packaging) to extend theshelf life of chilled products, and reduces the tendency for freezer burn in frozen applications.

DuPont Teijin Films are proud to partner with MULTIVAC, who are appointed as distributor of Mylar® COOK and Mylar® BAKE films in Europe, the Americas, Africa, the Middle East, and Oceanic regions.





Ovenable Skin Pack

The revolutionary Mylar® SKIN completes the Mylar® range of ovenable films, combining the two industry trends of “no touch” cook in the pack with the exciting developments in skin packaging.


Traditional skin pack films are polyolefin based andare not suitable for use in high temperature applications,but based on proprietary technology DuPont TeijinFilms have developed a film which combines thehigh temperature properties of polyester with“skin-like” behaviour.

Mylar® SKIN has a draw ratio of 3:1 which is suitable for most packs, but less than traditional non ovenable skin films. For more information on draw ratios and for advice on tray design and machinery compatability please contact your DuPont Teijin Films representative.
