UVASYS - prevents postharvest fungal decay

UVASYS is known worldwide as the pioneer laminated plastic sulphur dioxide generating sheet. It is acknowledged in most countries that produce, export or import Table Grapes as the premium product. Its function is to protect grapes from postharvest fungal decay, particularly the devastation caused by Botrytis Cinerea fungus (grey mould / mold) on grapes that are transported and stored.

UVASYS - sulphur dioxide generating sheets/pads/generators

The unique and innovative construction of UVASYS sulphur dioxide generating sheets ensures a predictable and consistent emission of sulphur dioxide over an extended period. This has the benefit of maximum fungal decay control, combined with minimum sulphur dioxide burn damage. The superior appearance of stems and berries after months of storage is assured, and the consequent extension in shelf life make Uvasys the choice of many leading European retailers. These major advantages are in part owing to its unique plastic and wax/Sodium Metabisulphite matrix laminating process, and in part to the manufacturing process which adheres to tight specifications and stringent quality control procedures.

Older technology sheets such as the paper/plastic granular Sodium Metabisulphate combination sulphur dioxide generating sheets are unable to provide the precise nature of the UVASYS laminated sheet's technology. Because it is the product of choice in so many markets, competing plastic sheets have been developed, often mimicking the appearance of Uvasys, but never the performance.

UVASYS - for postharvest storage of table grapes

Uvasys sheets are manufactured in batches, every batch of UVASYS sheets has a unique number, which is printed on each sheet. This batch number provides full traceability in accordance with standards expected by customers today. This is another reason why users trust Uvasys. The UVASYS SO2 sheet remains the best way of ensuring that table grapes arrive at their destination in peak edible condition.
