Soaker pads for meat trays are made primarily from special absorbent materials and are designed to be placed on top of trays in direct contact with meat or other fresh food products that are prone to water seepage. These pads quickly absorb and lock in food juices, preventing spills and keeping the trays dry and clean, thus extending the shelf life of the product and enhancing its visual appeal.
Material Composition
Common absorbent mat materials on the market mainly include:
PE film + wood pulp cotton + PE perforated film + SAP (highly absorbent resin): this composite material has a very strong water absorption capacity, SAP is responsible for rapid absorption, while the outer PE film can effectively lock the water to prevent reverse osmosis.
Paper-based composite material: Using a highly absorbent paper pulp layer combined with a waterproof layer ensures good water absorption and facilitates waste disposal.
Eco-friendly PVC foam mesh: Suitable for scenes that require anti-slip function, but also has a certain water-absorbent capacity, commonly used in the packaging of fruits and vegetables.
Application Advantages
Freshness and water locking: Reduce bacterial growth by quickly absorbing and locking excess water on the surface of the food, effectively prolonging the freshness of the food.
Enhancement of appearance: Keeping the pallet and the surrounding environment clean and tidy improves the first impression of the product to consumers.
Convenient transport: Reduce cross contamination and package damage caused by juice leakage, especially suitable for long-distance transport and multi-layer stacking.
Easy to use: disposable design, easily and quickly arranged on the tray, directly discarded after use, reducing clean-up workload.
Environmentally friendly options: some products are made of biodegradable materials, in line with the requirements of sustainable development.
