New Materials for Extended Shelf Life Packaging, 1998 Polymers, Laminations & Coatings Conference Proceedings

This paper introduces a developmental polymer system designed for use in applications that require a “total” oxygen barrier or which require the removal of oxygen from the package headspace. The polymer system can be used as a layer of a coextruded blown or cast film, a coextrusion coating, or a multilayered rigid container. The packages made using this system; actively remove oxygen, are easy to handle and activate, have excellent clarity, and good organoleptic properties. The developmental Oxygen Scavenging Polymer (OSP) system offers major improvements over existing oxygen scavengers. The OSP system is a non-sachet or pouch type scavenger which offers activation without the presence of moisture. The new system can also be used in applications that require excellent optical clarity. Examples of oxygen scavenging rates and capacities of multilayer films made from these materials will be discussed.
