A degradable zipper suitable for both food and non food applications has been introduced by Zip-Pak. The Degradable zipper allows film and bag converters to produce environmentally friendly packaging with the added convenience of a press-to-close zipper for easy storage. Brand owners now have the option to specify zippered degradable packaging for food products such as produce, nuts, breads and cheeses as well as for non food applications such as cosmetics, gardening, agriculture and camping.
The new zipper is manufactured using a proprietary blend of pro-oxidant catalysts and the company's standard PE copolymer. Capable of breaking down through physical or biological processes such as heat, moisture, UV light, or micro organisms, the additive that enables this process is FDA approved.
The Degradable zipper is available in all webless zipper profiles and no special zipper applicator set-up is required. It can run on AMI and any other brand of webless attachment system.
