Wax and other fruit coatings rely on a thick physical barrier that creates application challenges for processors, and a negative experience for consumers.
NatuWrap achieves far greater performance by forming a thin, highly-ordered structure that delivers the right level of permeability for gas and moisture.
Formulated by a team of material scientists led by Dr. Gary Beall, this innovation in natural polymers and clay nanoparticles self-assembling, achieving a single ultra-thin layer, which would typically require 30-50 layers. It accomplishes this through nature’s molecular, self-ordering process in an aqueous solution, without relying on harsh chemicals or causing environmental impacts.
By varying the mixture of clay and polymers, we have developed crop-specific formulas that allow us to set the rate of gas and moisture transfer for optimal protection, ripening and shelf life.
Any residues, including pesticides and fungicides, aren’t trapped on the fruit. They can be easily removed through simple rinsing, leaving behind only pure, fresh, natural fruit.
