Lubex™ AF 500Description
Lubex AF 500 is an anti-fog additive for films of polyolefin and vinyl chloride polymers that are used for food packaging. Films of vinyl chloride polymers, especially those which contain a certain amount of plasticiser and polyolefin, are particularly useful for packaging water-containing products e.g., vegetable produce, fruit, meat and frozen products. The advantages of these films are low cost, high transparency, good toughness and flexibility, even at low temperatures. On the other hand the surfaces of these films are highly hydrophobic, which means that fogging easily occurs. Water evaporated from the packaged goods can saturate the air between the film and the goods and water begins to condense in the form of small individual droplets. This interferes with the visual identification of the contents of the package. Lubex AF 500 is an anti-fog additive developed to overcome these shortcomings. Lubex AF 500 must be incorporated into the polymer before it is formed into a film. Lubex AF 500 is formulated with ingredients listed in the positive lists for food contact issued by health authorities of the most important countries (FDA, BGA, CEE, etc.).
