Oxygen Absorber is also known as Oxygen Scavenger/Deoxidizer/Deoxidation,it is added to air-tight packaging to help remove or decrease the available oxygen in the package,help to extend the shelf life of your food, prevent oxidation, and are even used to protect from insect damage.
There are many types of oxygen absorbers available to cover a wide array of applications. For most products, a mixture of iron powder, sodium, and activated carbon (charcoal) has proven quite effective. Iron powder is the primary component, while sodium acts as an activator, causing the iron particles to rust, effectively reducing the oxygen level in the surrounding atmosphere to approximately 0.01% when used appropriately. Activated carbon acts as a gas absorbent, further preserving products and removing unsavory odors.
