For the purpose of solids packing, Vishakha Group and Dow Packaging & Specialty Plastics (Dow P&SP) have partnered to produce "Recyclable Barrier Film". Dharmesh Foods will vacuum-pack wheat using such films for the very first time.
In India, individuals often purchase wheat in loose form. Dharmesh Foods, a well-known packaging company in India, is urging the sector to employ vacuum-packed packaging solutions to extend storage life and prevent spillages. Recyclable Barrier Films from Vishakha are perfect for the purpose since they may increase storability, cut down on food waste, and are reusable.
Joint Collaboration of Vishakha Group, Dow Packaging & Specialty Plastics and Dharmesh Foods
"We at Vishakha constantly seek to assist to the country's long-term success by inventing viable strategies for agribusiness, sustainable sources, storage, and in this case, packing products that offer for a prolonged shelf life," said Jigish Doshi, CMD of Vishakha Polyfab Pvt Ltd. In addition to extending the product's storability and lowering food waste, this recyclable barrier film product benefits societies by enabling package recycling.
According to Vipul Babu, Sales Director for Dow P&SP India SC, "The cooperative effort among Dow P&SP, Vishakha team, and Dharmesh Foods saw the three firms work with each other to co-develop a nylon-based barrier material facilitated by Dow's RETAINTM Compatibilizer to manufacture sustainable packaging for wheat. With the help of ecological packaging products, this alliance brings important parties together to generate good effects.
Owner of Dharmesh Foods, Dharmesh Thakkar, stated: "We are dedicated to ensuring India has a resilient and productive future. We are able to employ cutting-edge recyclable barrier films thanks to our collaboration with Dow P&SP and Vishakha, which ensure better taste and longer shelf life. This is a huge development for the wheat business that will help the ecosystem and provide better everyday living for our consumers.
RETAINTM Barrier Film Features
In order to effectively commix two otherwise incompatible materials while preserving essential value-added physical features, RETAINTM Polymer Modifiers were created by Dow leveraging its considerable expertise of materials research and reaction chemistry. Polyamide (nylon) and ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVOH) compatibilization into a constant polyethylene matrix is the particular goal of the product RETAINTM.
An ultra-low viscosity responsive assimilation serves as the foundation for this ground-breaking innovation. Responsive groups "coat" the polar elements, enclosing them in micro-domains to promote optimum diffusion. The RETAINTM polymers enable recyclers to convert discarded barrier films into standard polyethylene-based recycled sources when combined at predetermined proportions with pellet form barrier film recyclable streams.
Benefits of RETAINTM Barrier Film
These high barrier films have good scent holding power, low permeability, superior oil and chemical tolerance, and more. RETAINTM will contribute to the development of capital through eco - friendly materials, as well as helping to further nature conservation.
Compared to alternative films, RETAINTM Films are extremely stable packing that clearly has benefits over them. These films have remarkable mechanical qualities for their modest thickness. They feature good adsorption properties, downgauging of the thickness, greater flexibility, and greater temperature resistant films.
