Deoxidizers (also known as oxygen absorbers or oxygen scavengers) are chemical agents designed to remove or reduce oxygen levels in a sealed environment. They are widely used in food packaging, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and metal preservation to extend shelf life, prevent oxidation, and maintain product quality.
Deoxidizers (also known as oxygen absorbers or oxygen scavengers) are chemical agents designed to remove or reduce oxygen levels in a sealed environment. They are widely used in food packaging, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and metal preservation to extend shelf life, prevent oxidation, and maintain product quality.
Deoxidizers are substances that chemically react with oxygen to eliminate it from a closed environment. They typically contain iron powder, ascorbic acid, or other reactive compounds that bind with oxygen molecules, preventing oxidation and spoilage.
Food Preservation – Extends shelf life by preventing mold, bacteria growth, and rancidity.
Pharmaceutical Protection – Maintains drug potency by reducing oxidative degradation.
Electronics & Metal Protection – Prevents corrosion in sensitive components.
Wine & Beverage Quality – Reduces oxidation, preserving flavor and aroma.
Reduced Food Waste – Minimizes spoilage, contributing to sustainability.
✔ Highly Efficient – Rapid oxygen absorption for long-term protection.
✔ Cost-Effective – Reduces the need for preservatives or expensive packaging.
✔ Easy to Use – Pre-measured sachets or labels for convenient application.
✔ Versatile – Suitable for food, medical, industrial, and consumer goods.
✔ Non-Toxic & Safe – Food-grade options available for direct contact with consumables.
Iron-Based Deoxidizer (Most Common)
Mix iron powder, salt, and moisture-absorbing agents (e.g., activated carbon).
Seal in gas-permeable sachets for controlled oxygen absorption.
Organic Deoxidizers (Ascorbic Acid-Based)
Combine ascorbic acid, enzymes, and moisture activators.
Used in oxygen-sensitive products like pharmaceuticals.
Inorganic Deoxidizers (Metal-Based)
Utilize reactive metals like zinc or magnesium for high-capacity oxygen removal.
Packaging & Activation
Pack in airtight materials until use (activated upon exposure to oxygen/moisture).
