                                THE COMPANY

          Sealed Air Corporation and its subsidiaries are engaged
primarily in the manufacture and marketing of protective and
specialty packaging materials and systems. 

          Originally formed in 1960, Sealed Air is incorporated
in the State of Delaware and has its principal executive office
at Park 80 East, Saddle Brook, New Jersey 07663-5291 (Telephone: 
201-791-7600).     

                            SELLING STOCKHOLDER

          The shares subject to this offering (the "Shares"), as
listed below, may be offered hereunder from time to time by the
Selling Stockholder named below so long as the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part remains
effective.

Name of Selling            Held Prior             Subject to
Stockholder                to This Offering       This Offering

Shuford Mills, Inc.            432,646               432,646
    
          Sealed Air has agreed with the Selling Stockholder to
use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part effective until
August 20, 1996.

          All of the shares covered by this Prospectus were
issued by Sealed Air pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement
dated as of July 27, 1993 (the "Asset Purchase Agreement")
between Shuford Mills, Inc., a North Carolina corporation
("Shuford"), and Sealed Air, pursuant to which Sealed Air
acquired the assets of the Shurtuff Division of Shuford on August
20, 1993 (the "Shurtuff Acquisition").  The Asset Purchase
Agreement contains mutual indemnification provisions as between
Sealed Air and Shuford covering this registration and offering.  

          Neither Shuford nor any of its officers, directors or
shareholders held a position or had a material relationship with
Sealed Air or any affiliate thereof during the three years
preceding the consummation of the Shurtuff Acquisition.  Based on
information furnished to Sealed Air by Shuford, the only shares
of Sealed Air Common Stock owned by it at the commencement of
this offering were the shares which it acquired in the Shurtuff
Acquisition. 

                           PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

          Sealed Air has been advised that the Shares may be sold
from time to time by Shuford or by its pledgees, donees,
transferees or other successors in interest.  Such sales may be
made in one or more transactions on the New York Stock Exchange,
including ordinary brokers' transactions, block transactions,
privately negotiated transactions effected on that Exchange, or
through sales to one or more brokers or dealers for resale of
such Shares as principals on or off such Exchange, at market
prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such
prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.  Sealed Air has
also been advised that usual and customary 
                                    4

or specially negotiated brokerage fees or commissions may be paid by 
Shuford in connection with such sales, where appropriate, and that no
agreements, arrangements or understandings have been entered into
with brokers or dealers pertaining to the distribution of the
Shares.  Shuford and any brokers or dealers that participate with
Shuford in effecting transactions in the Shares may be deemed,
without so admitting, to be underwriters.  Any profits received
by Shuford and any discounts, fees or commissions received by
such brokers or dealers might be deemed to be underwriting
discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.  In addition,
any of the Shares that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than
pursuant to this Prospectus.

                               LEGAL OPINION

          The validity of the shares of Common Stock offered
hereby has been passed upon for Sealed Air by Robert M. Grace,

and was the beneficial owner of 98,316 shares of Sealed Air
Common Stock.

                INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

Item 14.  Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

          The fees and expenses to be paid by the Registrant in
connection with the distribution of the securities being
registered hereby are estimated as follows:
   
     Registration Fee........................$1,947.75      
     Accounting Fees and Expenses..........  10,000.00        
     Miscellaneous........................... 1,000.00
               Total                        $12,947.75
    
Item 15.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

          Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware (the "General Corporation Law") provides that:  (1) 
under certain circumstances a corporation may indemnify a
director or officer made party to, or threatened to be made party
to, any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action,
suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of
the corporation) because such person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or because such
person is or was so serving another enterprise at the request of
the corporation, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to criminal cases, had no
reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful;
(2) under certain circumstances a corporation may indemnify a
director or officer made party to, or threatened to be made party
to, any action or suit by or in the right of the corporation for
judgment in favor of the corporation because such person is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or
because such person is or was so serving another enterprise at
the request of the corporation, against expenses reasonably
incurred by such person in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and (3) a
director or officer shall be indemnified by the corporation
against expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with and to the extent that such person has been successful on
the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in the preceding clauses, or in defense of
any claim, issue or matter therein.

          Under Article THIRTEENTH of the Registrant's
Certificate of Incorporation and Article VIII of the Registrant's
By-Laws, indemnification of directors and officers is provided
for to the fullest extent permitted under the General Corporation
Law.  Article EIGHTEENTH of the Registrant's Certificate of
Incorporation eliminates the liability of directors for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as directors, except to the
extent such exemption from liability is not permitted under the
General Corporation Law.  The General Corporation Law, the
Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and the By-Laws of the
Registrant permit the purchase 
                                 II-1

by the Registrant of insurance for indemnification of directors and 
officers.  The Registrant currently maintains directors and officers 
liability insurance. 

          The foregoing summary of Section 145 of the General
Corporation Law, Articles THIRTEENTH and EIGHTEENTH of the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant and Article VIII
of the By-Laws of the Registrant is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the relevant provisions of Section 145, the relevant
provisions of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation,
which are incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 3.2 to the
Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
June 30, 1995, File No. 1-7834, and the relevant provisions of
the Registrant's By-Laws, which are incorporated herein by
reference to Exhibit 3.3 to the Registrant's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993, File No. 1-7834.     

          The Registrant and the selling stockholder named in the
Prospectus have agreed to indemnify each other, as well as in the
case of the selling stockholder any person who controls the
Registrant, against certain liabilities under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, as set forth in Section 11(d) of the Asset
Purchase Agreement constituting Exhibit (2)(A) to this
Registration Statement.

          events arising after the effective date of this
          Registration Statement (or the most recent post-

          (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement
relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

          (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-
effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

          (4)  That, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the
securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.

          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

          Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to
believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form 
S-3 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment to its
Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the Town of Saddle
Brook and the State of New Jersey, on the 20th day of September,
1995.

Sealed Air Corporation
Park 80 East
Saddle Brook, N.J. 07663

Dear Sirs:

          I am the General Counsel and Secretary of Sealed Air
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), and as
such have represented the Corporation in connection with Post-
Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form
S-3, Registration No. 33-68614 (the "Registration Statement"),
which amendment reflects 216,323 additional shares (the
"Additional Shares") of the Corporation's Common Stock, par value
$0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), to be covered by the
Registration Statement as a result of a two-for-one stock split
in the nature of a stock dividend payable on September 29, 1995
to holders of record of the Corporation's common stock at the
close of business on September 15, 1995 (the "Stock Split").  

          As General Counsel for the Corporation, in addition to
participating in the preparation of Post-Effective Amendment No.
1 to the Registration Statement, I have reviewed the resolutions
adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation on August
17, 1995 that authorized the Stock Split and the issuance of the
Additional Shares.  I have also reviewed such corporate records,
documents, instruments and certificates and have made such other
inquiries as I have considered necessary in order to furnish a
basis for rendering this opinion.

          Based on the foregoing, I am of opinion that:

          1.  The Corporation is duly incorporated and validly
existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware.

          2.  The issuance of the Additional Shares has been duly
authorized and such Additional Shares, when issued, will be
legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Common
Stock of the Corporation.

          I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the
Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit (5)(A) to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to me under the
caption "Legal Opinion" in the Prospectus forming a part thereof.

          I wish to advise you that I am a member of the Bar of
the State of New York.

                                   Very truly yours,


                                   s/Robert M. Grace, Jr.
