Nonwoven fabric for ethylene absorbers
Technical materials for fresh produce post-harvest sachets
Deltamove Engineering develops a nonwoven fabric for ethylene absorbers designed for the manufacture of technical sachets used in the preservation and transport of fresh fruit and vegetables. Our materials ensure effective absorption, full food-contact safety and excellent compatibility with converting lines. Their controlled, breathable structure ensures regular diffusion for optimal activation of anti-ethylene agents.

Performance & food-contact safety
Our solutions are specifically developed to meet the requirements of the fresh produce supply chain:
• High absorption through the nonwoven, ensuring rapid and stable activation of the absorbing material.
• Does not stain fruit or vegetables, even during extended transit.
• Material and inks suitable for food contact, compliant with regulatory requirements (EU and FDA).
• Breathable structure enabling homogeneous circulation of ethylene gas.
• Excellent mechanical strength to prevent any tearing or leakage.
These properties help preserve product freshness, limit losses and extend shelf life during long-distance transit.
A cost-effective
alternative to Tyvek®
Our nonwovens offer a more economical solution than Tyvek®, while providing:
• very high absorption performance,
• breathability better adapted to fresh produce applications,
• superior sealability,
• high dimensional stability in production,
• advanced customisation options.
This alternative reduces costs while improving the overall efficiency of ethylene absorber sachets.
Nonwoven for fresh
produce post-harvest applications
Our nonwovens are designed to guarantee:
• controlled ethylene transmission,
• optimal activation of the absorbing substrate,
• product cleanliness (no dust, no staining),
• compatibility with bulk or individual sachet packaging environments.
They are suited to post-harvest conditioning, export operations, sorting centres, logistics platforms and fresh produce distribution hubs.
Technical options
& customisation
As a supplier of textile solutions dedicated to the fresh produce sector, we offer numerous options:
• custom printing (instructions, batch numbers, logos, marking),
• roll dimensions adapted to automated lines,
• basis weight, porosity and strength adjustments,
• specific formats matched to absorber doses and volumes.
These customisations enable the creation of an ethylene absorber nonwoven precisely tailored to your technical and logistics requirements.
