A new 30cc Oxygen Absorber will have a loose powdered feel when pinched. It should feel free of clumps and may feel warm (a by-product of the absorber working in a moist environment). Spent (or expired) 30cc Oxygen Absorbers can feel hard or crunchy.
30cc Oxygen Absorbers, once exposed to the atmosphere, begin to get to work immediately. That is why we suggest that unused 30cc Oxygen Absorbers should be resealed within 30 minutes to ensure the integrity of the product is maintained.
We understand that Protection Experts Australia customers should feel confident they are receiving the best quality products. The unopened 30cc Oxygen Absorber bag might feel hard, but that is due to the vacuum seal as they are all clumped together. Once the bag is opened, the sachets will separate and should feel like the container ... Read more
Store 30cc Oxygen Absorbers at room temperature (5°C to 30°C), away from direct sunlight. They should be stored in their sealed package or a glass jar with a gasketed lid. Select the smallest glass jar possible to minimise the oxygen the absorbers will remove from the jar. 30cc Oxygen Absorbers in a well-sealed container will ... Read more
How quickly 30cc Oxygen Absorbers remove oxygen from the atmosphere will depend on the conditions. In dryer climates, it may take up to a week for 30cc Oxygen Absorbers to fully activate. Warmer, humid climates however accelerate the process and may take only 48 hours for the same result.
30cc Oxygen Absorbers trap oxygen. Given that air comprises 20% oxygen and 80% nitrogen, the absorber will only be removing the 20% of the atmosphere that is oxygen. The volume of nitrogen remaining will mean your bag will not deflate to the extent of the bag becoming hard or rigid.
Both these methods are used to remove the oxygen content from a package. Vacuum packaging achieves this by sucking out all air and then sealing the package. Nitrogen flushing forces the heavier nitrogen gas into packaging, pushing out the oxygen content. In both instances, some oxygen remains. It is estimated that when these methods are ... Read more
30cc Oxygen Absorbers more rapidly capture oxygen at room temperature. Under normal room conditions (20°C), packages will be oxygen-free within 24 hours. At a temperature of 6°C, packages will be oxygen-free within 48 hours. In 0°C to 4°C conditions, packages will be oxygen-free within 72 hours. Given the content moisture levels can differ widely, we ... Read more
50cc Oxygen Absorbers are used in sealed packaging to: • Extend shelf life of dried foods, powders, and snacks. • Prevent mold and bacterial growth by removing oxygen. • Preserve beef jerky, dried meats, and protein powders. • Protect grains, dehydrated fruits, and flour from spoilage. • Stop oxidation in pharmaceuticals and electronics. They work ... Read more
The factors to consider when calculating how many 50cc Oxygen Absorbers you require are: • The volume of the sealed package • The volume occupied by the food product. The 50cc Oxygen Absorber calculation isolates the volume of the food packaging void – sealed package volume less food weight – multiplied by 20%. The factor ... Read more
