VISMAX® Casings

VISMAX High Barrier Casings from Viskase Corporation are maximum performance casings for molded and formed processed meat and poultry applications.

Manufactured using multilayer extrusion technology, VISMAX Casings are tailored to maximize product yield and maximize shelf stability of sliced and retail items. Exceptional barrier and shrink properties make VISMAX Casings ideal for water, steam or smokehouse processing.

Incorporating a multilayer structure of nylon and high barrier resins, VISMAX Casings offer excellent moisture barrier properties and maximum oxygen barrier properties. As a moisture barrier, the film virtually eliminates water migration for minimal yield loss during cooking and prevention of weight loss during storage. As an oxygen barrier, the film maximizes product shelf life, protecting against surface oxidation and discoloration.

Using state-of-the-art flat width control system, VISMAX Casings are extruded to provide exceptional size uniformity. Consistent product dimensions are key to ensure proper fit into molds and consisten dimensions of "D" shaped items. They offer superb adhesion and controlled shrink properties, working together to control purge while maintaining product shape by minimizing corner and D-shape rounding.

• Shrink provides wrinkle-free finished product
• Optimum shrink force provides a more square shoulder in molds
• Excellent flat width control provides size consistency minimizing give-away
• Highest barrier properties maximize yields and extend product shelf-life
• Variable meat adhesion tailored to your process
