Food / Beverage and Pharmaceutical Packaging
Whether you’re a food or beverage manufacturer seeking taste
and odor control in your packaging, or a medical or pharmaceutical
manufacturer seeking moisture control in your packaging, UOP adsorbents
can help you get the job done right.
If you want to reduce organoleptic (taste and odor) problems in food and beverage
packaging, UOP's ABSCENTS deodorizing powders are a proven, effective choice.
ABSCENTS deodorizing powders are not masking agents. They physically adsorb
odor-source molecules, and their incorporation into polymer structures can
result in entrapping and rendering inoffensive odor and taste compounds that
may have been generated from polymer oxidation, migration of external contaminants,
or dissolution of additives. ABSCENTS deodorizing powders have been proven
effective for their organoleptic properties in polyolefin extrusion pipe, injection
and extrusion blow-molded containers, tie-layer and sealant polymers, extrusion
coatings, and multilayered packaging.
If you’re concerned about desiccation problems, UOP’s MOLSIV powders
should be your materials of choice. MOLSIV powders physically adsorb water
molecules, reducing water concentration levels to less than 1 ppm in many applications.
MOLSIV powders can be incorporated directly into plastics packaging, including
rubber elastomers to protect moisture-sensitive contents such as medical and
pharmaceutical products. This technology can be considered as a replacement
for sachet type desiccating inserts with more automated methods to speed up
production times. They are also ideal for packaging applications that go beyond
the simple requirement of desiccating an enclosed volume to a level drier than
the surrounding environment.
