Mylar Bags 7 MIL Food Grade Pack of 10 XXL
DescriptionPremium 7 MIL Food Grade Mylar Zip Lock Bags XXL 18.9 Litres
Details
Mylar films have extremely low Oxygen Transmission Rates due to the foil layer. The thickness of the film overall is not as important as the thickness and quality of this metalisation when it comes to long-term food storage. This is because oxygen cannot penetrate metal. And strength? Even one square inch of this Mylar film can support the weight of two and a half cinder blocks!
*Based on the Oxygen Transmission Rate of this Mylar, heat-sealed as instructed with correct Oxygen Absorbers.
NOTE: ALL Mylar bags MUST be heat-sealed for food storage. A reseal top is only for resealing food after you open it.Oxygen absorbers are also required and are available HERE.
Each oxygen absorber pack includes an Oxygen Indicator. Read about Oxygen Absorber Indicators and Myths & Misconceptions of Mylar Bags and Oxygen Absorbers and How to Re-Seal Mylar Bags for more information.SpecificationsOther Information

* Why is the Zip Lock on the bottom?

Bag Size and Specifications:
*Mylar Bag must be filled completely. Food types can be deceiving and may contain far more air than you thought therefore it is okay and a great idea to use more absorbing power than necessary. Flour can be 50% air! Pastas can be 75% air! A larger capacity Oxygen Absorber will help account for this. If there was a tiny leak in the seal, a larger absorber will continue to absorb oxygen for many years.

Oxygen Absorbers for Long Term Food Storage. To ensure adequate oxygen absorption for long term preservation of food Survival Supplies Australia recommends mylar bags should be filled completely & food packed tightly. There is nothing wrong with using more oxygen absorbers than necessary. If you are unsure of the quantity of oxygen absorbers needed, always go with a higher quantity. Oxygen Absorbers from PackFreshUSA will absorb 180% to 300% of their rating to have a substantial buffer of safety. Note: like flour and powdered mixes consist of very fine particles, they can contain a surprising amount of air. Be aware that 300cc oxygen absorption quantity per 3.8 litres isn’t enough for food types like pasta. | |||

Easy to seal

Placed bag in bucket, filled with rice, partially sealed with a hair straightener, dropped in the oxygen absorbent and finished the seal. Easily done. Make sure you label and date.
