VITEL™ Copolyester Resins - Heat Seal & Coating Solutions for Packaging
Modern packaging faces increasing demands for:
- Recyclability and Circularity: Regulations in EMEA require packaging to be compatible with recycling streams, especially PET-based structures.
- Food Safety Compliance: Adhesives must be BPA-free, halogen-free, and antimony-free while meeting EU food contact standards.
- Performance Across Conditions: From refrigerated APET trays to dual-ovenable CPET solutions, adhesives must withstand extreme temperatures.
- Operational Efficiency: Converters need easy-to-process adhesives that reduce waste and improve line speed without compromising bond strength.
VITEL™ addresses these challenges by offering versatile solutions for heat seal layers, can coatings, and laminating adhesives that meet sustainability and performance requirements.

Balanced Performance for Modern Packaging
VITEL™ copolyester resins deliver a perfect balance of properties for demanding packaging applications.
- Offering flexibility in low temperatures and resistance in high temperatures: they ensure reliable performance throughout the supply chain, from frozen storage to oven-ready packaging.
- Versatile Formulation: VITEL™ can be blended or used alone, depending on your application needs. To enhance durability, you can cure or cross-link them, which improves chemical resistance to coatings and primers.
- Exceptional Adhesion: Designed for strong bonding on PET films, ensuring secure seals and consistent lamination.
- More Sustainable: BPA, antimony and halogen free; utilize sustainable raw materials; compostable.
- Recyclability Certification: Selected grades (V1200, V2200, V2700, V1900 series) are certified compliant with PET tray and lid recycling guidelines when used as sealing layers.
