April 23: What is claimed to be the world’s fastest oxygen scavenger for metal crown closures is being previewed amongst a number of products by Grace Darex Packaging Technologies at the Cannex 2007 show in Las Vegas (25-27 April).
Oxygen scavengers absorb the gas in drinks that results in flavour deterioration, especially in beers. Darex’s Celox 300 sealant is claimed to have a scavenging performance that is four times more effective than current liners.
