Aqui-Pad Food Grade Absorbent Pads

Aqui-Pad. Food Grade Absorbent.

Aqui-Pads are used to absorb unwanted liquids from food packaging, whether in wrapped meat trays for retail, or bulk containers and are USFDA and EU food packaging compliant for meats, fish and poultry.

The Aqui-Pad product range uses a Super Absorbent Polymer to rapidly absorb unwanted aqueous liquids into a gel. Aqui-Pad’s outer HDPE laminate, although perforated, is leach resistant so that the SAP gel will not contact food under normal working conditions.

Aqui-Pads for Food Packaging Display Trays

These light-weight and compact tray pads are designed to lock away blood and fluids from produce without wicking desired juices from the food, whilst taking up minimal space in the product packaging. They are designed to improve the appearance of food products, reduce contamination in consumers working areas, and the lack of available moisture will slow bacterial growth, thereby increasing produce shelf life.

Aqui-Pad Range

Our wide range of sizes and designs of carton pads provide aqueous fluid absorption for most standard carton. Typically, these pads will be used in polystyrene or cardboard boxes weighing up to 25kilogramms. Absorbent capacities range from 30 ml, to 6 liters of distilled water per pad.

Using Aqui-Pads

Storage
Aqui-Pads absorbent pads must be stored in a dry dust free atmosphere in hermetically sealed cartons and kept away from direct sunlight.

Aqui-Pad Selection.
The selection of pad will be governed by absorption required, salinity and package size. Absorbency capacity as stated in product specification sheets is based upon distilled water; however, total absorbency capacity is affected by salinity of aqueous fluids.

Aqui-Pad Ice Mats
partially fill with water, freeze, and place in the bottom of cartons. The insulation properties of Aqui-Pad will cool the product for a considerable period, up to five times longer than un-insulated ice. A further advantage is that Aqui-Pads will retain a capacity to absorb condensation and residual aqueous fluids, ensuring the interior of the carton remains dry to retain high quality of produce and safer disposal of used cartons.

Aqui-Pad Ice Mats are not labour intensive to prepare, and can be quickly filled by timed emersion in water by conveyor, then fast frozen by nitrogen at the end of the process line.

Aqui-Pad Disposal

Materials
Aqui-Pad absorbent media is manufactured from non-woven, spun-bonded polypropylene fabric impregnated with Sodium Polyacrylate, a non-toxic, super-absorbent polymer. All Food Grade Aqui-Pads have a High Density Polyethylene laminate backing on one, or both sides.

Dispose of Aqui-Pads according to local regulations. Aqui-Pads are safe to incinerate without producing toxic emissions.
