Ampacet Introduces Fresh+ Antifog Masterbatch for Fresh Produce Packaging

Ampacet, a global masterbatch leader, has introduced Fresh+ 1032 AF, a new specialty antifog masterbatch for polyethylene flexible applications that offers exceptional slip performance and machinability on packaging equipment.

 

Specific applications for Fresh+ 1032 AF include grocery packaging for washed, pre-cut and ready-to-eat vegetables and fruits. In this type of packaging, fog and water droplets can form on interior surfaces, affecting shelf appeal and produce shelf life. Fresh+ 1032 AF provides an attractive shelf appearance while offering excellent machinability, including a low coefficient of friction, for the manufacturing of form, fill and seal packaging.

 

Ideal for lidding applications, Ampacet’s Fresh+ 1032 AF demonstrates excellent antifog performance in barrier and non-barrier single wrap films as well as in laminated film structures and provides outstanding slip properties (COF < 0.25) without the use of a migrating slip additive.
