Custom Laminations
25
Due to the increasing number of demanding applicatons our products are being used
with, IMPAK has found it necessary and benefcial to ofer custom material lamina-
tons. These substrates can be tailored to your exact requirements or we can employ
chemists who will take your product components and/or problems into consideraton
and create an entrely new flm.
An example of one of our custom laminatons are our PAKVF4PC MylarFoil flm which
has a contact/sealant layer of polypropylene and as such contains far less additves,
slip agents and additonal components commonly found in flms with an LLDPE seal-
ant layer, making it ideal for products with essental oils or volatle compounds. Other
examples include customer specifc Pantone Colors and additons of chemical coatngs
to prevent oxygen and water vapor transmission.
When other companies will not entertain the thought of running a small amount of
material to determine compatbility or even a small run of fnished pouches or roll
stock, IMPAK can work with your company to get you the material you need to make
an informed and educated decision.
Please contact one of our Technical Sales representatves by email here: techinfo@
sorbentsystems.com for more informaton and/or a quotaton.

Dri-Box Technology
A DRI-BOX is a regenerable dehydratng
cartridge.
It will remove the moisture in a sealed 3
cubic f. area
The DRI-BOX will also assist in the
preventon of corrosion, mildew, and other
problems caused by humidity in unsealed
containers
When the DRI-BOX turns pink, it is tme for
re-generaton.
The DRI-BOX can be regenerated hundreds
and hundreds of tmes in a conventonal
oven or microwave

Molecular Sieve
Molecular sieve also known as synthetc sodium alumina silicate is a
specialty adsorbent with a very unique pore structure.
It is by far the best choice in terms of desiccant for companies
looking to maintain the lowest possible relatve humidity.
The vast majority of molecular sieve that is produced has no
indicatng feature. However, Impak Corporaton has the capability of
producing indicatng molecular sieve.

Montmorillonite Clay
Montmorillonite Clay is a naturally occurring porous adsorbent. The mined clay is actvated
for use as a desiccant through careful cleaning, sifing and drying.
This clay will successfully regenerate for repeated use at very low temperatures without
substantal deterioraton or swelling.
This property allows clay to act as a moisture bufer especially where regeneraton cycles
are desired.
Clay is inexpensive and efectve within normal temperature and relatve humidity ranges

Humidity Indicators
Humidity Indicator Cards
Humidity indicator cards are
impregnated with a soluton of cobalt
chloride that has been carefully mixed
to change color from blue through
various shades of magenta - red, to a
pink.
Keep in mind that these cards will only
indicate the relatve humidity.
Humidity Indicator Plugs
Indicatng Desiccators are small refllable
tubular desiccators designed primarily
for the absorpton of moisture in small
containers.
Each type of Indicatng Desiccator
incorporates a Humidity Indicator card.
This indicator monitors the Relatve
Humidity (RH) of the container air as
well as the conditon of the desiccant
itself.

Impulse vs. Constant Heat
Impulse
They run a tmed impulse
of electricity through a heat
element which fuses and
seals the bag.
Generally only one bag can
be sealed at a tme.
Pedal Sealers may also
come equipped with dual
seal elements when the
product to be sealed is
especially thick, or when
the material needs very high
temperatures to seal.
Seals tend to be fairly thin
(2-5 mm).
Constant Heat
Ofer a great-looking, extra
wide seal that is perfect for
food products and other
applicatons that require extra
secure sealing.
Temperature can be adjusted.
Seal tme is not controlled by
the machine.
