SO2 GENERATING SHEET

UVASYS VS. OTHER SHEETS:

UVASYS VS. OTHER PLASTIC SHEETS:

  • Uvasys has a more even distribution of SO2 in the grape carton – ensuring better protection of your table grapes.
  • Uvasys sheets are dimensioned to fit the carton snugly.
  • Uvasys offers predictable and constant emission of SO2 gas.
  • Uvasys does not emit large bursts of gas if there is a break in the cold chain.
  • Packers of the end product are never exposed to high levels of SO2 gas.
  • The Uvasys sheet does not need to be removed from the carton before display at the supermarket.
  • Batch numbers printed on each sheet ensure traceability of the product.
  • Stringent performance-based Quality Control Assurance on every batch.
  • Excellent technical support and back-up.
  • The Uvasys sheet is preferred in certain British supermarkets.

UVASYS VS. PAPER SHEET:

  • The Uvasys sheet is a new development in the SO2 generator field.
  • Uvasys does not resemble the paper sheet in appearance or in behaviour within the grape carton.
  • The active ingredient is encapsulated in a wax matrix between two thin plastic films instead of loose in a sachet. This also removes the risk of fruit contamination by chemicals when a sheet is damaged.
  • The First Stage performs similarly to the conventional paper sachet sheet.
  • The Second Stage has been designed to emit a constant low level of Sulphur Dioxide gas and to protect the grapes over a prolonged period - up to 6 months - with no excessive bleaching.
  • Uvasys copes well with ‘real life’ situations (where temperatures can fluctuate during storage and transport) without emitting high levels of gas that bleach the grapes.
  • A layer of non-woven inert material is adhered to the underside of the sheet to act as a barrier between the grapes and the sheet.
  • The Uvasys sheet is dimensioned in size to fit the carton snugly. This results in an even distribution of gas throughout the carton, offering superior decay control.
  • The Uvasys sheet has EPA registration.
