5 Things To Know About Nitrogen Flush Packaging | Solos Polymers

  An appropriate packaging gas is required to store and transport sensitive products such as food. A modified atmosphere environment that inhibits unwanted chemical reactions such as oxidation and food spoilage can help you in achieving a better shelf life of the food products. But, the question that stands here is which gas can be flushed for food packaging? Here is where nitrogen steps in! You must be thinking why only nitrogen? It is because the main component causing food spoilage and oxidation is oxygen. If oxygen is flushed into any of the packaging then the food inside will undergo chemical reactions that will directly affect the flavor and texture of the packaged item. Moreover, nitrogen acts as an antioxidant component which means it can prevent food from undergoing chemical reactions and various climate changes.  Nitrogen flushed packaging  is the process of filling nitrogen gas in the pack instead of oxygen to meet advantages like high-quality food for a long duration, enhan

Using Mulch Film: Tips From Top Mulch Film Manufacturers

  Mulching is an age-old agricultural technique to create favorable conditions for plant growth and development by laying a protective covering on the soil. Widely used in intensive agricultural production, mulching improves the bio-structure of the soil, thus enhancing the crop-growing conditions. Originally, farmers and agriculturists would use natural vegetable mulching such as leaves, straw or moss as a natural protective barrier on the soil to retain moisture, maintain the right temperature, promote crop growth and yield and prevent soil erosion. However, with technological advancements, today we have  agricultural mulch films   that are ready-made polyethylene films designed to serve the same purpose for modern plantations. Worthwhile to mention here is that biodegradable mulch films are also manufactured to reduce environmental impact. MULCH FILM TYPES Mulch film manufacturers  make different varieties of mulch films and classify them based on additives used in them, the density
