It would be no exaggeration to say that the Japanese food packaging industry started with the introduction of Krehalon (polyvinylidene chloride resin), a product that preserves food flavor by blocking oxygen. This was first introduced by Kureha in the mid 1950's, and was used for fish products.

Since those early days, Kureha has created a number of multi-layer films including a high barrier lamination material name Besela, which has more advanced barrier characteristics than Krehalon, and due to its excellent preservation characteristics, ease of use and safety, has the potential to drastically change the global food packaging industry.
