Tyvek® brand materials are extremely durable, puncture resistant and feature high water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) , allowing for easy moisture and gas passage, that makes this material ideal for desiccant packets.
Available in jumbo & custom size rolls with a Single Side Heat Seal Coating:
- Food & Pharmaceutical Active Packaging: Suitable for direct food and pharmaceutical contact. Commonly used in food packaging (spices, snacks, coffee), vitamins, pharmaceuticals.
- Food Processing: Active packaging supports "clean label" trends by reducing the need for direct food additives/preservatives. It addresses sustainability by reducing food waste through longer shelf life. Future trends include more sustainable, biodegradable materials and improved understanding of migration from packaging to food to ensure consumer safety.
- Scavenger Sachets: Active packaging in food processing goes beyond conventional, passive barrier protection by incorporating active compounds (scavengers or emitters) into materials or sachets to interact with the headspace or product. It enhances food safety, extends shelf life, and preserves quality by managing moisture, oxygen, ethylene, or microbial growth. Used for foods such as coffee, cured meats, baked goods, cheese, dried foods, nuts, and jerky, as well as in pharmaceutical packaging.
- Industrial Active Protective Packaging: Ideal for manufacturing desiccant bags, molecular sieves, and moisture control sachets due to its breathable, non-linting, and durable properties.
- Industrial Covers/Lining: Used in protective packaging for electronics or machine parts, offering resistance to abrasion, punctures, water, and corrosion.
- Hazardous Material/Chemical Packaging: Often combined with specialized coatings or laminations for enhanced chemical resistance or liquid holdout.
