Oxygen absorbers are used to remove oxygen from Mylar bags, creating the perfect anaerobic environment for your storage and protection needs.
Removing the oxygen prevents bacteria and funguses, such as mould, from developing. Foods sealed in Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers can last for decades and inorganic products like paper and plastic even longer.
At Mylar Shop, we stock 5 different sizes of oxygen absorber.
The smallest 20cc oxygen absorber is best suited for our 7.5cm x 10cm and 9cm x 10cm pouches.
The 50cc oxygen absorber is best for our 10cm x 15cm ziplock bag and 10cm x 17cm transparent ziplock bag.
The 100cc oxygen absorber is most suitable for our 12cm x 20cm ziplock bag and 15cm x 15cm bag.
The 300cc oxygen absorber is best used with our 20cm x 25cm zip-loc bag, 20cm x 30cm mylar bag, both 25cm x 35cm mylar bags, in standard 3.5mil and heavy duty 7mil thicknesses and the 25cm x 40cm ziplock bag.
The 2000cc oxygen absorber is ideal for our heavy duty 35cm x 50cm bag, 48cm x 74cm mylar bag and heavy duty 48cm x 74cm mylar bag.
Mylar bags can be used successfully without oxygen absorbers, but using them will further prolong the life of your stored items.
We also stock OxyFree OxyEyeTM oxygen indicators to check and continually monitor oxygen levels.
We supply only genuine OxyFree oxygen absorbers/scavengers and OxyEyeTM oxygen indicators. OxyFree are the market leader in oxygen absorber technology worldwide. We would advise against using inferior quality generic oxygen asborbers and indicators.
