CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
Government of Puerto Rico
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned by virtue
of the authority vested by law, hereby issues this
certificate and affixes the Great Seal of the
Government of Puerto Rico, in the City of San Juan,
Puerto Rico, today, July 13, 2020.

Prevent fogging of your transparent
food packaging
Effective solutions exist to keep your packaging fog-free,
and recent developments make it easier than ever
2© 2020 Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012
INTRODUCTION
Fog formation on food packaging films frustrates
consumers, can lead to product spoilage, and
ultimately hinders sales.
Consumers perceive the packaged
food as poor in quality
• Moisture accumulation can lead
to spoilage
• Consumers are unlikely to purchase
foods they cannot see
Consumers want to see what they
are buying, and that is especially true
for fresh foods.
3© 2020 Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012
food packaging is not only a problem of aesthetics,
but also hygiene.
In addition, there is no restriction on
their use in food contact applications, because no
Specific Migration Limit (SML) applies to them.
6© 2020 Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012
ATTRACT CONSUMERS, BUT DON’T THEN
FRUSTRATE THEM: ANTI-FOGGING WITH
EASY-PEEL
Anti-fogging additives can be combined with other
functional features in films to increase the overall
customer-friendliness of a complete package.
