MONTREAL,
April 9, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Imaflex
Inc. ("Imaflex" or the "Corporation") is pleased to report the
broadening of its patent portfolio for its revolutionary active
ingredient releasing multilayered film technology to bags.
Imaflex together with Bayer Innovation GmbH,
co-developer and co-inventor, have included this new bag invention
in the initial provisional patent application for multilayered
active ingredient releasing films. This was done prior to the
international patent applications in the top 25 vegetable
production countries of the world.
Imaflex engineers have designed a versatile
process which allows fabricating bags which are either able to
release agrochemicals, like nematicides, fungicides, insecticides
and herbicides to protect crops during their growth period or able
to release preservatives to also protect them beyond harvest.
Substituting agrochemicals by preservatives in
the bags will enhance the preservation of the freshly harvested
fruits and vegetables by releasing natural, or artificial,
antimicrobials and antioxidants as active ingredients to prevent
decay or spoilage in all areas of the food supply chain
"We are excited at both the commercial prospects
for our multilayered active ingredient releasing bags, and their
ability to make a small contribution in global efforts to reduce
food wastage at the production, postharvest processing, and the
retail stages of the food supply chain," concluded Mr. Abbandonato,
Imaflex's President and C.E.O.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its
