VIBA offers its VIBATAN® PE FOOD ANTIFOG 02682 expressly formulated for the production of polyethylene films used as food packaging.
The function of PE FOOD ANTIFOG 02682 is to prevent the formation of condensation of water droplets, and the product is perfectly effective in the same way in both cold and hot exposure conditions and from the very first moment, which is not so obvious.
Anti-fog Layer Lowers Condensation
Films for food packaging need special features to ensure that the packaged product is perfectly visible and perfectly preserved. Food products continue to release water vapor and sometimes even small amounts of carbon dioxide.
Water vapor spreads over the surface of the packaging and fogs it up, preventing the product inside from being properly seen. It also disproportionately accelerates the natural deterioration of food.
To overcome these problems the food packaging film needs to be enhanced such that the inner side of film which forms the inside of the pack has a special
anti-fog layer that lowers the dew point and thus prevents the formation of condensation created by the transpiration of food.
Many other products are characterized by milder anti-fog agents that migrate more slowly than VIBATAN 02682. For this reason, their effectiveness is weaker, easily giving rise to condensation, a problem which does not occur when using PE FOOD ANTIFOG 02682 which:
-
allows perfect transparency of the packaging
-
improves visual access to food content
-
helps to increase the shelf life of food
The presence of the mineral filler helps to reduce the adherence of the film surfaces during the unwinding or the opening of the tubular film. VIBATAN PE FOOD AF 02682 complies with several regulations for food packaging applications.
