After sealing, the solution releases a specially formulated amount of an anti-pathogenic agent in the food package to prevent pathogenic growth. The agent dissipates from the package within 24-48 hours of activation.

InvisiShield leverages 3-Phase Activ-Polymer technology to ensure safety of the packaged foods.

Patented by Aptar CSP Technologies, the 3-Phase Activ-Polymer technology is designed to increase shelf life and maintain freshness of the products.
