Air Repair Ethylene Absorbers FAQs
How many ethylene absorbers do I need for my application?
The amount is calculated with a formula using the type of product (fruit/vegetable) multiplied by the weight of the product multiplied by the number of days the product is stored. See guidelines under the "Specifications" and "User Guide" tabs above.
Does it make a difference if I use absorber blankets or tubes.
If they have the same number they will absorb the same amount of ethylene. The shape of the product is for particular applications. For example, a blanket will work well in a ventilation system with the air passing through it whereas packets can be placed in various locations within the storage area.
