Ampac introduces improved anti-fog technology for fresh produce packaging

Ampac, a division of ProAmpac specializes in flexible packaging, has introduced an improved anti-fog technology for film used in fresh produce packaging.

Unlike other technologies, the new anti-fog coating technology offers superior seal and hot tack properties and does not impact the coefficient of friction (COF) of the films, while providing improved transparency for fresh produce, according to the company. It helps to prevent condensation for heat sealable films.

In addition, the features and performance of the anti-fog coating works in conjunction with tailored perforations in the film to control the respiration rate of different vegetables. The anti-fog coating is suitable for bag and lidding applications and is also approved by US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for microwave applications.

Dr. Hesam Tabatabaei, ProAmpac's Director of Research, Innovation and Technology, said, "Our new anti-fog technology offers improved clarity with technical advances that improve line efficiencies on form fill and seal packaging machines. The improved clarity helps drive sales of fresh produce by highlighting the freshness of the product. We're excited to add this new anti-fog technology to ProAmpac's broad portfolio of innovative flexible packaging solutions."
