O2Block maximizes shelf life for diverse packaging made of materials
such as LDPE, HDPE, PP, PET, and PLA for the food and pharmaceutical
industries. Uses purified and modified layered clay as a
performance-enhancing carrier of oxygen-scavenging iron. The active iron
is dispersed directly in the polymer during the production process.
Active iron is linked to the clay surface and a uniform dispersion is
achieved. In addition, the iron deposited on the clay prevents platelet
agglomeration which combined with unique surface modification ensures
total additive dispersion. A simpler, less costly, and more convenient alternative to conventional scavenging techniques, according to the company,
