Oxygen Absorbers - 300cc - Pack of 10

Oxygen absorbers remove oxygen from the air, when one of these 300cc oxygen absorbers is placed inside one of our Foil bags and sealed, the oxygen within the bag is removed. The capacity of oxygen removal of these oxygen absorbers matches the Foil bag we sell.

It may be useful to also purchase a bag clip along with these oxygen absorbers, which allows you to store the oxygen absorber sachets without having to worry about them being exposed to the oxygen in the air once you have opened the vacuum sealed pack.

Our oxygen absorbers are of the highest quality available and are produced by the the major manufacturer Mitsubishi under the Ageless brand  they are not the cheaper paper variety that are widely available, they are made of Tyvek type plastic which comprises of flashspun high density polyethylene fibres. This higher quality oxygen absorber offers much greater protection, for example if the product you are sealing has any fat content the plastic does not degrade and allow transfer through, unlike the paper encased equivalent. (Although it is not recommended using Foil bags with products that have high fat/moisture levels.)

Oxygen Absorbers remove oxygen from the Foil food bags to below 0.01%. They work by when exposed to air, the iron in the sachet quickly starts to absorb the oxygen and breaks it down into harmless iron-oxide which is safely contained in the packet and does not contaminate the food. Each of these 300cc oxygen absorber is designed to treat 10kg void of product and are well over specified for their application.  It is normal for a vacuum to be created within 24hours of the oxygen absorbers being sealed within the Foil bag.
