What is an Oxygen Absorber?
An oxygen absorber is a small sachet or packet used to keep products safe from mold growth and can dramatically extend shelf life by removing oxygen from a sealed package. Oxygen absorbers, also known as oxygen scavengers or desiccants, can be used in a variety of products and applications, including pharmaceuticals, industrial metals, and food.
Alternatives to preservatives
Whether you call them oxygen packets, oxygen scavengers or oxygen absorbents, AGELESS oxygen absorbers are a safe and better alternative to keep products fresh without all the unhealthy preservatives. Our PFAS-free AGELESS packaging solutions can help maintain flavor, color, fragrance and nutrition of freshly prepared food – eliminating the need for excess preservatives while extending shelf life.
What Is An Oxygen Absorbing Desiccant?
An oxygen absorbing desiccant (OAD) is a specialty dual function packaging material, developed by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical, that absorbs both oxygen and moisture simultaneously. OADs can be used to avoid the negative effects of oxidation in different applications including pharmaceuticals and electronics.
