Fibrous MP casings are cellulose casings of the fibrous type, which are lined with a protecting PVDC coating on the inside or on the outside. This coating renders the casings impermeable to gas, water and water vapor.
Depending on where the protecting PVDC coating is applied, one may distinguish between two types of casings:
FIBROUS OCMP or FIBROUS OutsideCoutedMoisterProff
In this case, the protecting coating is applied on the outside of the casing. Here are some of its characteristics and features:
- long-lasting water spraying is not necessary, which means water and time savings
- easy handling and excellent slicing features, without any casing tearing risks
- attractively looking casing, due to their intense specific shine
Please read the technical datasheet for additional information about its use, diameters and colors.
FIBROUS ICMP or FIBROUS InsideCoutedMoisterProff
In this case, the protecting coating is applied on the inside of the casing. Here are some of its characteristics and features:
- suitable for high speed automatic stuffing, without any additional precautions
- enjoys good heat contraction features, for wrinkle-free products
- mat surface, specific to traditional products
FIBROUS MP casings are designed for products with traditional mat or shiny look, such as Extrawursts, Victoria type Salamis, Ham Salami, Mortadella, etc.
Fibrous MP casings have the advantages of the use of a FIBROUS casing, but with “zero loss“.
Storage
Fibrous ICMP/OCMP casings have a shelf life of 1 year, provided the storage requirements are met.
Casings should be stored in a cool dry room, yet not in the vicinity of air conditioning pipes.
The storage temperature is 12-24 °C.
Store the casings in their original packages and comply with the “first-in – first-out” rule.
