Gellan gum is a useful ingredient in the packaging industry, where it can be used as a coating agent and film former. Packaging materials, such as films, coatings, and laminates, often require a combination of barrier properties, adhesion, and flexibility to protect products from moisture, oxygen, and other environmental factors. Gellan gum's unique properties make it a particularly effective choice for these applications.
As a coating agent, gellan gum can help to create a barrier between the packaging material and the environment, reducing the permeation of oxygen, moisture, and other contaminants. It can also help to improve the adhesion of coatings to various substrates, ensuring that the coating remains in place and provides effective protection.
As a film former, gellan gum can help to create a flexible and durable film that can be used to protect products and packaging materials. It can also help to improve the tensile strength and tear resistance of films, ensuring that they can withstand the rigors of shipping and handling.
Overall, gellan gum's unique properties make it an effective ingredient in the packaging industry, where it can help to improve the barrier properties, adhesion, and flexibility of packaging materials. Its natural and non-toxic properties also make it an increasingly popular choice among packaging manufacturers looking for sustainable and effective ways to protect their products and reduce waste.
