What is Cilicant oxygen absorber? CILICANT OXYGEN ABSORBER actively preserve the freshness, flavor, and stability of packaged products by limiting oxygen induced degradation. These preservative free absorber pouches significantly extend the shelf life of packaged food products by creating anaerobic internal environment in properly sealed packaging.

CILICANT Oxygen Absorber improves the shelf life of your products by limiting the oxygen content within the packed products to 0.01% or less, Due to the absence of oxygen, it reduces the possibility of oxidation in food products, creating a nitrogen environment for prolonging the storage time. CILICANT Oxygen Absorber contains a unique formulation which has Iron as an active ingredient & is packed in special fabric which enhances permeability of oxygen. When used with proper packaging and sealing, the oxygen in the packaging is significantly reduced to 0.01 % or less

Why is Cilicant used?

CILICANT Silica gel desiccant adsorbs moisture from the air in enclosed spaces. Give a longer life by absorbing the moisture and eliminate fungus, mould. The moisture absorber is ideal for closed spaces of shoe cabinets, camera lenses, bags, wardrobes or wherever stagnant air is a problem.

Which is better silica gel or oxygen absorber?

Oxygen absorbers only absorb oxygen, not moisture or air, but silica gel does absorb moisture. Therefore, to maintain the humidity level in the packaging, it is recommended to use an oxygen absorber.

Oxygen Absorber Advantages:

Lowers oxygen levels to less than 0.01%

Available in individual packets or roll form

Oxygen Absorber

Food that has undergone freeze drying has had 95% of its water removed; the next step is to pack the food in containers or packages to extend its shelf life. The major threat to long-term food storage preservation is oxygen. For this solution, we offer oxygen absorber packets in the Indian market, which reduce oxygen from food-grade oxygen absorber packing pouches and extend the shelf life of the packaging without altering the flavour, worth, or look of food products. Similar to this, oxygen absorbers can be used for long life in a variety of packaging applications.

Iron powder, natural zeolite powder, water, and salt are the main ingredients in DMF grade oxygen absorber packets, with iron powder serving as the primary and most effective component. We may shield food or pharmaceutical items from oxygen by packing the components for oxygen absorber packets in USFDA-approved, DMF-free, and non-toxic Tyvek paper. The oxygen absorbers created by Desiccare Inc. are also known as "busters," which are little packets marked "Do not eat." These packets are constructed of paper, plastic, and PET and come in a variety of package sizes ranging from 20 CC to 3000 CC. Oxygen-buster packets are put with food packets of rice, vegetable, meats, diagnostics kits, dry foods, grain, noodle, etc. before they are packaging and help to remove the need for gas flushing, additives and vacuum packing.

According to the food standard, Our FDA approved oxygen scavengers are reduce 0% oxygen level surrounding packaging environment and they design in such a way that when they fully absorb oxygen, the color of absorber is changed bright pink to dark blue. This isolation indicates that this desiccant is fully absorbing oxygen from packaging and correctly working. Find here the biggest selection of oxygen absorbing packets or oxygen absorber sachets, modernized the way that dehydrated food is stored for safely long life.

CREATING SUPERIOR ACTIVATED CARBON THAT SOLVES COMMON CHALLENGES FACED BY ACTIVE PACKAGING

In the pharmaceutical industry, activated carbon, also referred to as charcoal, is frequently employed as an adsorbent to remove contaminants, odours, and toxic gases from packaged goods. This is a result of its highly porous, amorphous structure, which offers a sizable surface area for the adsorption of gases and volatile organic compounds.

But, equally importantly, manufacturers and distributors choose activated charcoal for their packaging as it is especially effective in combination with other substances, such as desiccants for the control of both moisture and odor.

Manufacturing process of activated carbon

Many resources, including coconut shells, peat, wood, coal, and fruit stones, can be used to create activated carbon. While being activated, all of these materials produce variable degrees of pore size and dispersion. At Cilicant, we've discovered that activated carbon made from coconut shell is exceptionally pure, effective, and tends to be denser with more micropores. Additionally, Cilicant has developed non-dusting pouches by employing coconut shell in the manufacturing process. Because to our focus on quality, we are able to provide a better product that protects manufacturers and formulators against customer complaints resulting from dusting problems. Coconut shells are also a very renewable and sustainable resource.

The first step of the manufacturing process involves thermal decomposition of the raw material, producing a carbonaceous mass full of tiny pores. In the second stage, this base material is ‘activated’ in steam-heated to up to 1,100 degrees Celsius.

Because of its lattice structure and extensive surface area for adsorption, crystalline activated carbon contains a network of microscopic holes. Through physical adsorption, volatile gases and odors are drawn to this structure and held there until an equilibrium is formed between the adsorbed molecules and the molecules that are still freely dispersed but transporting gas or moisture. Furthermore, chemisorption takes place when fresh chemical bonds are created between the adsorbates and the activated carbon surface.

Oxygen Absorbers

Oxygen absorbers are small packets that contain iron powder in it. These packets are normally placed over the packaged foods so that oxygen cannot create any damage to the food products. These packets are made in a way so that oxygen and moisture can enter into the packet but in any situation the iron powder doesn’t leak out. The iron powder absorbs the oxygen and helps to maintain the quality of the food.

What Are and How Do Oxygen Absorbers Work?

Oxygen absorbers simply consist of a small packet made of breathable material containing iron powder which reacts with the oxygen in the air causing the iron powder to rust. It is the rusting reaction that consumes the oxygen molecules.

When the oxygen in the food storage container has been absorbed, the oxygen absorber ceases working because all the oxygen in the container has been absorbed.

Or they become "loaded" when all the iron powder is completely rusted the absorbing action stops. For this reason it is important to select the proper size oxygen absorber for the container or Mylar Bag being used. Selecting an absorber that is too small for the container volume will not have enough iron powder in it to consume all the oxygen in that container and your long term storage may be compromised.

How much oxygen does an absorber absorb?

All absorbers specify the amount of oxygen each packet can consume in “CC’s” (cubic centimeters). Again this is the amount of oxygen the absorber will consume, not the total amount of air in the container. There is only 21% oxygen in the air we breath and the rest is mostly nitrogen and will not harm the food being stored. So you simply calculate how much oxygen in cc’s you need to remove and use the appropriate size absorber.

How Long Does it Take For the Oxygen Absorbers to Work?

When in use, oxygen absorbers get warm to the touch. Their rated maximal absorption is reached in around 4 hours.

Are They Dangerous to Come in Contact with Food?

The packets' permeable construction prevents iron powder leakage while allowing oxygen and moisture to enter. It is safe to set the oxygen absorbers on top of the food. When in touch with food, the packet material won't contaminate it.

Big and small players in the pharmaceutical industry have been rapidly innovating to provide safe medications and products designed to satisfy this global demand. One challenge that the industry has had to contend with is the exposure of many drug formulations or medical devices to oxygen while in storage or transit.

Oxygen exposure may drastically reduce the shelf-life and efficacy of healthcare products. It may even result in the production of noxious by-products that impact patient safety. While many intrinsic and extrinsic approaches have been designed to provide a consistently low-oxygen packaging environment, not all are practical nor effective. From our experience, oxygen absorbers present the easiest and most cost-effective solution to this problem and in this blog post, we give the lowdown on Cilicant’s excellent oxygen absorbers for healthcare products.

Oxidative degradation in pharmaceutical packaging

Modern pharmaceutical items are typically packaged using a variety of plastics and polymers. Polymer-based packaging solutions have taken over as the standard option for many pharmaceuticals and medical products due to their low production costs and general ease of transportation. Despite its many advantages, polymer-based packaging solutions require active oxygen level regulation to reduce the likelihood of oxidative destruction of packaged goods.

The presence or absence of oxygen in the headspace and the entry of ambient oxygen into the packaging environment will determine the degree of oxidative degradation of packaged medications. A measurement known as the oxygen transmission rate is used to gauge the amount of oxygen entering the system (OTR). Unchecked oxygen levels in the packaging environment will have a variety of negative effects on medications and medical products, reducing their effectiveness and quality while also putting patients at danger of ingesting hazardous byproducts.
