Japan launches new products for food packaging attracts attention

Recently, Mishima Paper Co., Ltd. introduced three new functional papers for food packaging to the market, which has attracted widespread attention from food manufacturers.

The first type is a paper that absorbs water. Its greatest feature is its strong ability to absorb water. It can hold 10 times the weight of the material and is safe and harmless. Compared with the water absorption capacity and water retention capacity of the non-woven fabric, the water-absorbing functional paper is obviously superior because the non-woven fabric can only retain moisture in the pores of the fiber, and the water-absorbing functional paper not only has the above capabilities but also the fiber itself. It can also absorb water. This paper becomes very soft after absorbing water. Due to the above features, the water-absorbing functional paper can be used on hams, sausages and other outer packagings to absorb the water dripping from fresh foods.

The second is food packaging material paper, which has the characteristics of heat sealability, air permeability, oil resistance, good water resistance, etc. Its ventilation can be controlled according to user requirements. The food packaged with the air-permeable paper can be heated by microwaves, and therefore it can be used as a microwave-heated frozen food outer packaging material, which has been used for packaging hamburgers.

The third type is water resistant paper, which is characterized by its good water resistance and air permeability. Since it has no water repellency, its soaking rate is higher than that of other materials, its surface strength and interlayer strength are high, it has antibacterial properties, and it can absorb ammonia. This feature is not obtained by adding chemicals, but depends on the raw material of the pulp, so it is safe and reliable. Water-resistant paper can be applied to food packaging materials, condensation water-absorbing film and other fields. If it is compounded with other materials, it can be used as a packaging paper for multi-moisture semi-finished foods, so as to fully exert its advantages of mildew proof, water absorption and water resistance.
