Active Packaging

EMULACTIV C-1 is an active coating that is applied to carton packages to delay the proliferation of pathogens and improve the preservation of fruits and vegetables, extending their shelf life. This is all thanks to its composition: a mixture of natural essential oils and waxes.

Application

It can be applied using the same techniques as for any other coating, as a liquid, in the paper and cardboard industry. If using a spray application technique, the active product is sprayed on the internal surfaces of the mounted boxes at room temperature, without the need to heat them. Once applied, active packages act by releasing the “natural active ingredient” they contain in a dosed and controlled fashion, generating a protective atmosphere or environment around the food.

Advantages

01

It extends the shelf life of food, without the need to use artificial preservatives and respecting the environment.

02

It reduces product losses due to ripening and deterioration.

03

It allows for extending storage time and transport distances.

04

It improves the product quality, maintaining the initial characteristics and freshness for longer, such as colour, brightness, and fewer losses of juice in fruits.
