A sorbent is a material designed to remove undesirable substances, such as moisture, oxygen or gas, either through adsorption or absorption. Common examples include oxygen absorbers, or oxygen scavengers, which absorb oxygen molecules most typically by way of iron oxidation; and desiccants, which adsorb moisture and/or gas through binding with and trapping the molecules.
Although not as big a global market as flexible packaging IMPAK Worldwide is the clearly recognized leader in specialty sorbent production and engineered applications. Our molded desiccant products: CM900, can be engineered and produced to fit into specific applications in the demanding aerospace and medical field.
Indicators that can reflect moisture content from 5% to 100% as well as an oxygen indicating tablet that will recognize and indicate the presence of oxygen at 0.1% or less are also hallmarks of the technology developed within the company.
Realizing how important sorbents are in the packaging and preservation process, IMPAK has taken great lengths to ensure that you receive only the highest quality products.
