Antifog Additives Market: Overview
Fogging is the phenomenon of condensation of water vapor on the surface of the
packaging material in the form of tiny discrete droplets. Antifog additives are useful
for preventing the formation of fog in plastic films, which are mostly seen in
agricultural and food packaging applications.
In the case of food packaging, the formation of drops or fog on the surface of the
packaging material may lead to a decrease in the quality of food material that is
enclosed in the packet, leading to a decrease in its sale eventually. For food
packaging, the additive used must be FDA approved. For agricultural purposes,
antifog additives are used in green houses to avoid the formation of fog within the
green houses. The formation of fog within the greenhouse can prove to be
detrimental to the proper growth of the plants as it tends to reduce the amount of
sunlight that reaches the plants. In extreme cases, it may even lead to the burning
of the plants due to the optical activity of the water droplets.
Antifog agents are mostly available in the form of creams, gels, and spray solutions
and wet wipes; ideally coatings are applied during the time of the manufacturing
processes itself. Anti-fog additives can be added to plastics from where they can
move out from the inner side of the plastic.
The substances which are commonly used as antifog additives are surfactants,
hydrophilic coatings, and hydrophilic nanoparticles and coatings. Antifog additives
are made up of a polar head group like hydroxyl and a nonpolar tail with a
hydrocarbon chain in it.

Antifog Additives Market: Market Trends
The idea of using antifog additives has been well-accepted in the food preservation
and agricultural sectors. At present, there is an increase in the amount of food
material that is packed and sold, for which it is essential to maintain quality. Fogging
is a common phenomenon seen in packaged food items; to avoid fogging, antifog
additives are widely used.
