Fog formation is a challenge for
many fresh foods and packaging
types, including:
• Fresh and processed meats and fish
• Lidding barrier films on rigid or
semi-rigid containers
• Stretch films
• Fruits and vegetables
• Stretch or shrink films
• Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene
(BOPP) films
4© 2020 Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012
in recent years, and it is
now possible to create
films with outstanding
mechanical properties,
gas barrier properties, and
optical qualities.
An
apple is 84% water; only 4% of a cucumber is not
water.
Tap water was put in a beaker, the top of the beaker
was covered with a sample of the test film, and the
beaker was put in a refrigerator at 4°C (39°F).
