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.
