Preserve quality and extend shelf life of chemicals during storage and transport with Modified Atmosphere Packaging, reducing oxygen exposure, moisture ingress, mould growth and where required insect treatment.
Sensitive chemicals can be affected by oxygen and moisture during storage and transport. Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) provides an effective way to create and maintain a controlled atmosphere around the product, helping preserve stability and quality throughout the supply chain.
vQm MAP can be used for a wide range of dry and sensitive chemical products, including powders, granulates, additives, ingredients and other moisture- or oxygen-sensitive materials.
By combining high-barrier packaging with vacuuming and gas flushing, vQm MAP can be used to reduce oxygen exposure, limit moisture ingress and protect sensitive materials during extended storage and international transport.
The appropriate packaging material and gas composition are selected according to the chemical properties of the product and the required storage conditions.
High-barrier packaging strongly limits moisture ingress, helping prevent moisture uptake, caking and other moisture-related quality changes.
Reducing the oxygen concentration inside the packaging helps slow oxidative reactions that can affect product stability, colour or performance.
Maintaining a modified atmosphere helps preserve product characteristics for longer during storage and transport.
Better protection against external oxygen and moisture can help reduce degradation, rejected batches and avoidable product losses.
Designed for efficient vacuum and gas flushing of full big bags and wrapped pallets.
A reliable seal is essential for maintaining the modified atmosphere inside the packaging. The recommended sealer depends on the selected packaging option.
Designed to measure and verify MAP conditions. Measuring the and CO₂ concentrations supports quality assurance and confirms that the required MAP conditions have been achieved.
To transport semi-bulk chemicals, we recommend the following packaging:
All packaging is designed with the vQm valve sealed inside (that enables efficient gas flushing through one secure connection point at amazing speed) Explore the vQm Two-Way Valve →
Its form-stable square design reduces bulging and helps maximise the use of available storage and container space.
If you prefer using palletised sacks, boxes or other existing cacao packaging, you can stack them on pallets and enclose the entire unit in a vQm Wrapping Liner or a Hood liner in case an automated palletizer is used. This protects whole shipments at once without altering your existing bagging process.

Potentially, but this must be assessed case by case. The chemical properties of the product, compatibility with the packaging material, gas selection and applicable transport or storage regulations must all be considered before using MAP.
Nitrogen is commonly used where a low-oxygen or inert atmosphere is required. Other gases or gas mixtures may also be suitable, depending on the chemical properties of the product and the purpose of the packaging.
