The Sirane Guide to Absorbency and Absorbent Products

ABSORBENCYThe Sirane
guide to
and absorbent food packaging solutions...

IF you’re looking for absorbent products, but don’t know
where to start, Sirane’s here to help....
Sirane’s Dri-Fresh range offers numerous absorbent
products including meat pads and soakers and
absorbent pads for seafood, fruit and poultry, with
solutions from raw produce through to on-the-shelf.
Our Dri-Fresh Resolve range offers absorbent and
compostable packaging solutions for meat - pads and
soakers with a range of types, sizes and grades - with
Dri-Fresh Sea-Fresh offering equivalent products for
the fish and seafood industry, including seafood and
fish mats and pads. Dri-Fresh products are perfect for
transportation of meat, fish and seafood.
Our range of Dri-Fresh fruit pads include pads for
cushioning and absorbency, ethylene absorbency, anti-
fungal options - all-in-all your fruit will arrive with the
consumer in a better condition.
Our Dri-Fresh Fresh-Hold range contains odour
absorbent pads suitable for packaging meat, fish,
fruit and cheese. Our Dri-Fresh Supreme range offers
products that are both absorbent and ovenable
while Dri-Fresh Eat-Fresh products are suitable for
sandwiches, pastries and salmon.
We also offer Dri-Fresh Fat-Traps - absorbent oven-grill
liners perfect for domestic use, and Sira-Serv Rotisserie
/ Hot Food Display Liners suitable for commercial use.
Not all of our absorbent products fall within the Dri-
Fresh range. Sirane also offers absorbent susceptor
products for crisping food in the microwave, and
absorbent food presentation boards & dividers.
Absorbent packaging What’s going in the pack?
What do you need to absorb?
How much do you need to absorb?
Does it need to be compostable?
What size absorbent pad do you need?
What colour do you want?Before you start, it might be worth you asking
yourself the following questions.... because we will!
let Sirane do the hard work...
Meat? Poultry? Seafood? Fruit? And how much? If you don’t know the answers to some of the
other questions, we can use our experience to suggest possible solutions...
We make to order using flexible manufacturing... so we won’t just offer you the nearest available
size.Tell us what size you need the absorbent pad, and we’ll make it that size!
Is it water? Salt-water? Juices from meat, or from fruit? Blood? Or even odour or ethylene? If you
tell us what you’re looking to achieve, we’ll advise the best way to go about it...
Sirane offers a wide range of absorbency levels - from 800cc/M2
up to 26,000cc/M2
. Because we
offer such a range, we won’t try and sell you absorbency you just don’t need....
It environmental factors are a concern, we can offer a number of our
products in a compostable version. Look for the name Resolve.
Absorbent pads are available in a range of colours. Black, white, green and
red are the most popular.... but if you have other ideas, ask the question!

SIRANE has numerous absorbent
packaging solutions for fresh meat.
Our range of absorbent pads include
standard absorbency (ie absorbs
blood, juices etc), odour absorbency,
ovenable absorbent pads and more.
New additions to the range include
anti-microbial absorbent pads.
Our absorbent pads will help your
meat arrive with the consumer in a
much better condition, and can help to
actively extend its shelf-life.
We also offer odour absorbency on its
own, as an adhesive label - which can
be fixed to the inside of the pack, for
products where liquid absorbency isn’t
needed. Odour absorbency can be a
particularly effective solution to the
problem of confinement odour.

process, absorbing fat and juices released which result in
cleaner, crispier, healthier food and safer easier handling.
