What is Anti-Fog Masterbatch?

Anti-fog masterbatch is mainly used in agriculture and food packaging. The accumulation of moisture on plastic films, leading to forming dew and water droplets in greenhouse environments, poses a challenge for greenhouse owners and farmers. Additionally, in the food sector, if the protective film sweats, it can cause moisture to accumulate in the storage container, ultimately leading to spoilage of the product. For this reason, manufacturers utilize this masterbatch to enhance the protection of their products. The anti-fog additive is based on low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). These two resins are considered polyolefin films.

Features and Advantages of Anti-Fog Masterbatch

This material prevents water droplets from remaining in a ball or spherical shape on its surface; instead, it spreads these droplets evenly across the entire surface. Below are additional advantages and features of this material:

– Preserves the quality of food products over an extended period.

– Prevents sweating of agricultural films.

– Improves light transmission to agricultural products.

– Prevents burning of plants and greenhouse products.

Types of Anti-Fog Masterbatch

Anti-fog masterbatch can be divided into three main categories based on various parameters, including polymer base, industry application, and functionality. Further explanations are provided below:

Polymer Base

This material can be composed of two types of polymer bases: polyethylene and polypropylene. Polyethylene is suitable for food packaging, while polypropylene performs well under high temperatures.

Industry Application

The three industries that have the most significant usage of this material are food packaging, agricultural films, and cold storage packaging.

Functionality

In addition to its current application, anti-fog masterbatch can have other features such as anti-static and antibacterial properties or resistance to extreme heat.
