Material Notes:

Mylar® 840 is a one-side pretreated polyester film for improved metal or cold seal adhesion. The packaging industry is constantly setting higher standards for product protection using flexible packaging films. Improved barriers as well as package strength and stiffness are key characteristics of Mylar® 840 polyester which has made it a premier packaging film.Approvals: FDA Food Contact Status - All gauges of Mylar® 840 comply with the Food and Drug Administration regulation 21 CFR 177.1630 -- Polyethylene phthalate polymers, sections (f) and (h). These regulations describe films that can safely be used in contact with all types of foods, excluding alcoholic beverages. The films listed above can be used to contain foods during oven cooking at temperatures up to and above 250°F.Information provided by DuPont.
