An aluminized film is a plastic film (polyethylene) coated with a very thin layer of aluminum. This aluminum layer gives the film highly effective barrier properties against moisture, oxygen, light, and other gases. This is what distinguishes it from simple plastic films.
A "desiccant" or "dehydrating agent" is a specific type of dehydrating sachet manufactured by Zerust Excor. Our sachets contain a hygroscopic substance, which means that it has the ability to attract and retain moisture present in the air. Its main role is to create or maintain a dry environment in order to prevent corrosion problems.
The amount of desiccant required depends on the volume of the packaging, the storage period, the humidity level, and the nature of the product (whether it is sensitive to humidity or not). We therefore recommend that you contact our teams, who will help you determine the amount of desiccant to use.
Yes, aluminized film is available in several formats, and we can manufacture it to the exact dimensions of your products. We can offer rolls with a width of up to 10 m. Contact us for an analysis.
Aluminized film is compatible with a wide variety of products, particularly those that are sensitive to moisture, oxygen, or corrosion. Acobal has patented a long-lasting protective solution that can protect parts for up to 15 years by combining different products. (Please feel free to contact us for more information).
Yes, to ensure optimal protection, it is recommended to remove the air (or create a partial vacuum) before sealing the film. This limits the presence of moisture inside.
