OXYGEN ABSORBERS

What Do Oxygen Absorbers Do?

When used with proper packaging and sealing, the oxygen in the packaging is greatly reduced. Our absorbers bring the oxygen level down reliably to .01% or less

What Are The Benefits Of Using Them?

+ Extends shelf life
+ Prevents growth of aerobic pathogens and spoilage organisms, including molds
+ Eliminates the need for additives such as BHA, BHT, sulfur dioxide, sorbates, benzoates, etc
+ Absorba virtually all oxygen and continues to absorb any oxygen that may permeate the package.

Benefits:

+ Significantly improves keeping qualities of polyunsaturated fats and oils
+ Helps retain fresh flavor
+ Prevents oxidation of spice oleoresins present in spices themselves and in seasoned foods
+ Prevents oxidation of vitamins A, C and E
+ Extends life
+ Inhibits mold in natural cheeses and other fermented dairy products
+ Delays non-enzymatic browning of fruits and some vegetables
+ Inhibits oxidation and condensation of red pigment of most berries and sauces

Oxygen Absorbers vs. Gas Flushing

Oxygen Absorbers reduce and maintain oxygen content in packaging to below 0.01%. This eliminates aerobics microbial growth and oxidative chemical reactions in packaging.

Gas Flushing leaves a minimum of approximately 0.5% to 5% residual oxygen. This only provides some control of aerobic microbial growth.

ZIP SEAL CLOSURE

There is a tear notch on each pouch just above the zip-seal so that opening each pouch for the first time is very easy. Each food storage meal is packaged so that you can conveniently make just what you need. Zipseal the pouch if you have any leftovers and place it in your pantry for later.

MYLARFOIL POUCHES

What is Mylar?

Mylar is an industrial trademarked brand name that is often confusing. In its basic form, mylar is a CLEAR material made from polyester resin. The Ready Project utilizes MylarFoil bags that have moisture and oxygen barriers to ensure product integrity.

Polyester film, ('mylar') when laminated to aluminum foil provides additional barrier properties and higher puncture resistance than any metallized polyester structure. The ubiquitous "mylar" balloons are actually made from metallized polyester, a very lightweight structure in which the aluminum is deposited onto the surface of the polyester (mylar) film in a thickness measured in angstroms ( 1 angstrom = 1/1000th of a human hair). An aluminum foil layer actils like a FLEXIBLE can providing the best possible barrier properties.

Our pouch structure has a .0005 foil layer structure that is at least 6.0 mils thick. The majority of foil structures use only .00028, a thickness rife with pinhole problems.

Contact Corrositivity

Low Carbon Steel, Aluminum, Copper, Ag plated copper foil, Sn-Pb coated copper foil, No Evidence of Corrosion or Etching of Metal

PULL TAB LID

Have you ever tried to open the standard lid of a 5 gallon bucket? Ouch, it can be difficult, not to mention, you need a tool. Our packaging feature an easy to open pull tab lid that is very easy to open and reclose.

PLASTIC CONTAINER

While the super tough mylarfoil pouches protect the food storage meals the non-corrosive plastic containers add functionality and added protection. The container itself becomes a functional tool in emergency situations such as hauling water and removing waste.

HANDLE

As a functional tool the containers are extremely portable and having a good handle is a must.

STACKABLE DESIGN

The containers are notched to provide secure and stable stackability. This helps make efficient use of space when storing in bulk.
