Various Types of AGELESS for Various Purposes
Select the AGELESS type that best suits your purposes.
Place AGELESS with food in a container or film wrapping which is impermeable to oxygen. Thoroughly seal the container or the film sheet. When inserting AGELESS manually, you only need a heat-sealing machine for easy and simple packaging. An automatic AGELESS inserting machine, suitable for interlocked operation with existing automatic food packaging machines is available to allow continuous AGELESS insertion.

What is Water activity(AW)
Water Activity (AW) is the ratio water vapor pressure (p) generated by the product itself, to the maximum vapor pressure (Po) at a given temperature. lt is also shown by the balanced relative humidity (RH%) generated by moisture transpired from the product when it is packed in a closed container.
Regular Acting Type
