Mylar bag stand up pouch with zip lock

Mylar bag stand up pouch with zip lock

Mylar bag stand up pouch with zip lock are for long term storage of dry foods, less than 0.9% water. They protect food from light, air oxidation, moisture, insects, odor, vapor and Xray. They have a temperature range of -18c - 80c so they can be used in the freezer, fridge, pantry or for re heating. All types of fresh food, dehydrated food and freeze dried food will store well in the Mylar bag stand up pouch with zip lock. They are easy to open with the tear tab on one side and can be sealed with an impulse sealer, vacuum sealer or hair dryer. If using a vacuum sealer you should use the hi or moist setting if it has one or the Lava vacuum sealers have a dial to raise the heat like an Impulse sealer. Our Mylar bag stand up pouch with zip lock are 4.5mil thick or 120 micron they are made up of 3 layers, PET for strength, Aluminum for blocking, and PE for sealing. These are all of food grade quality and PBA Free.

Using Mylar bag stand up pouch with zip lock with oxygen absorbers

The Mylar bag stand up pouch with zip lock should be used in conjunction with an Oxygen absorber which can then keep food for up to 20 years. 3/4 fill the Mylar bag stand up pouch with zip lock with food then add the required oxygen absorber and push some air out by hand then seal it up. If using a vacuum sealer use the seal function only. The idea is to leave some air in the bag so the oxygen absorber removes the oxygen and leaves the nitrogen which also aids in keeping the food fresh. Oxygen absorbers can be purchased separately BY CLICKING HERE.

We recommend using a food grade iron oxide oxygen absorber which are also known as deoxidizers. They will remove the oxygen and prevent the growth of aerobic micro organisms, mold, bacteria, and fungi and prolong storage life. The required amount of oxygen absorber depends on the type of food and size of bag also how full the bag is.

Typically a 20cm by 30cm x 5cm gusset bag that is 3/4 full will take a 200cc oxygen absorber. The oxygen will be absorbed over a 3 month period. If you want this to happen quicker or the bag is only half full then you might want to double it or use a 500cc oxygen absorber.

Formular for calculating what size oxygen absorber you will need.

Firstly I will say that more is better than not enough

When you use our Dorency oxygen absorbers they easily remove 21% of the air from inside the bag or jar, because the absorbers only remove the oxygen (O2) which is about 21% of air.

The general formula for cubic center meter of oxygen absorption required is

• Container volume – food volume = residual air volume.
• Residual air volume x 0.21 (because air is 21% oxygen) = oxygen absorber size needed.
• It is okay to exceed the size of oxygen absorber needed and it’s better to be on the safe side and use more.

Conversions

• 1cc = 1ml
• 1000ml = 1 liter
• 3.78 liters = 1 gallon
