Description
The
bio sachets are designed to offer hygienic protection to air and to
prevent post harvest spoilage of fruits, vegetables and flowers by microbial pathogens. They
are also effective for mould and mildew control, and destroying odours at the source. Therefore, they are useful for providing long-term odour control.
When a bio sachet is exposed to moisture in the air, a low, slow concentration of chlorine dioxide gas (less than 0.1ppm) is produced.
Chlorine dioxide is a powerful biocide and odor control agent that will fight against micro-organisms and odors caused by chemical substances, mould, mildew, fungi and bacteria.
Chlorine dioxide will also react with many of the odor-causing chemicals present after a fire (some of which are dangerous in their own right).
Being a gas, it permeates throughout the
area and will sanitise the air and products against common spoilage micro-organisms
such as Botrytis, Aspergillis, Penicillium, Geotrichum, Colletotrichum, etc.
Note: The chlorine dioxide gas is also an ethylene scrubber
and will prevent pre-ripening of fruits and flowers.
The sachets are activated by moisture
in the air and work very efficiently at R.H. above
65 degrees.
Air movement (e.g. blowers in cold rooms) will distribute the chlorine
dioxide gas effectively.
