Inpat Desiccant Material
Oxygen Absorber
The main material in oxygen absorbers is iron powder, typically in the form of elemental iron or reduced iron powder. The iron in the absorber packet reacts with oxygen in the air through a process called oxidation. This reaction is facilitated by the presence of moisture.
Why it is a
popular choice
Here are the reasons
Iron Powder
The primary active ingredient, which undergoes oxidation and binds with oxygen.
Salt
Often, a salt is included to help accelerate the oxidation reaction. Common salts used include sodium chloride (table salt) or sodium carbonate.
Activated Carbon
This component helps to absorb any remaining gases and odors in the sealed package.
Vermiculite or Zeolite
These materials are often used as carriers to provide a controlled environment for the oxidation reaction and to absorb moisture.
Polymer Material
What is Oxygen Absorber
absorption rate?
Oxygen absorbers are commonly small, sachet-like packets that are often placed inside packages of food, pharmaceuticals, or other products to help prevent spoilage or degradation by reducing the oxygen content within the sealed package. The packets usually have a porous material that allows oxygen to enter and react with the iron powder inside, ultimately leading to the oxidation of the iron and the absorption of oxygen.
