Clarifoil® Anti-Fog Film For Freezer Doors


Attention Retailers – Increase your Sales and Save on Energy

Reach-in display freezers often fog when the doors are opened and closed in a busy retail environment. Customers cannot see the merchandise on display and as a result, sales can significantly suffer.

Clarifoil® Anti-Fog film applied on the inside surface of the door prevents fogging and maintains glass transparency enabling customers to clearly see the merchandise on offer.

Retail freezer doors are often equipped with electrically heated glass to try and solve this problem, but the heaters take time to clear the fog and are expensive to operate.

The superior fog resistance provided by Clarifoil® Anti-Fog film allows the door heat to be significantly reduced and, in some cases, even eliminated completely resulting in a significant reduction in energy usage and lower electricity bills without sacrificing product visibility.

 

Clarifoil®’s unique anti-fog effect is comprised of two mechanisms:

  • Hydrophilic surface action spreads condensation into an ultra thin layer that is transparent
  • Moisture vapour is absorbed by and dissipates from the film unlike coated solutions that only have the hydrophilic action

 

Clarifoil® anti-fog film benefits

  • High performance anti-fog feature inherent in film, not a coating
  • Plastic free material
  • No deterioration of efficacy
  • High transmittance and exceptionally low haze
  • UV stable and no tint of colour
  • Impact resistant
  • Lasts lifetime of a freezer door

 

Clarifoil® – A Sustainable & Plastic Free Solution

Cellulose, the primary raw material used in Clarifoil® Anti Fog Film is derived from wood, a naturally renewable resource. The wood pulp is from sources that plant more trees than are harvested and ensure no endangered hardwoods are used.

As would be expected of a market-leading material, Clarifoil® can be safely incinerated. Being cellulosic, it is categorised alongside paper and board for return and recovery purposes and can be sent to landfill without any risk of toxic leachate.
