Packing boxes normally come with ventilation holes, but this is often not enough to eliminate ethylene gas. The boxes are usually packed together tightly, so the ventilation holes are blocked and ethylene gas accumulates inside. This gas is detrimental to fruit and vegetables. The chances of discolouration and ripening are increased manifold. Thanks to its small dimensions and weight, the sachet can be easily placed inside the box, ensuring that produce is protected from the detrimental effects of ethylene not only during transport, but also during storage.
Oxylene is a powerful and environmentally ethylene filter. The round shape of the grain creates a lot of common ground where air can flow along. This is necessary for the optimal functioning of Oxylene. The grain is a hard product which can not crumble. There can be no aluminum grit arise that may come up between the products. The pellet is purple in color. As the ethylene grain has been processed, it changes color to brown. The residue is brown stone.
