ENOXITE SMOKE (PRODUCT RANGE): KEY ADVANTAGES
AVAILABLE GRADES: S20 & S30
DESIGNED FOR THE USE IN SMOKED FOODSTUFF CASINGS:
Enoxite® Smoke is a technical polymer product range specially developed for use in smoked food casings. Its combination with polyamide (PA) makes Enoxite® Smoke ideal as materials for smoked casing production
HIGH PERFORMANCE SMOKED CASING FEATURES:
The technology behind Enoxite Smoke allows gas permeability, excellent dimensional stability during packaging, high mechanical strength and elasticity, good shrinkage, exceptional adhesion to food, and excellent printability.
ENOXITE SMOKE: TECHNICAL FEATURES
GAS PERMEABILITY
Allows optimal smoke penetration for deep flavour, uniform colour, and authentic aroma development.
DIMENSIONAL STABILITY
Ensures consistent casing shape and size throughout processing, guaranteeing product uniformity and easy handling.
HIGH MECHANICAL STRENGHT
Provides exceptional durability, minimising breakages during filling and handling for higher production efficiency.
HIGH ELASTICITY
Offers flexibility for uniform filling and perfect product adaptation, ensuring smooth processing and a flawless finish.
GOOD SHRINKAGE
Allows the casing to conform perfectly to the product, reducing wrinkles and enhancing final appearance.
EXCELLENT ADHESION TO FOOD SURFACES
Ensures ideal bonding for uniform smoking and easy casing removal without product loss.
EXCELLENT PRINTABILITY
Facilitates clear printing directly on the casing surface for effective branding and presentation.
BREAKTHROUGH IN MATERIALS FOR PERMEABLE CASINGS FOR SMOKED FOODS

IMPORTANCE OF MATERIALS FOR SMOKABLE CASINGS FOR FOOD
Casings used for smoked meats, cheeses, and other products must offer controlled permeability to smoke and water vapor, as seen in smokable sausage casings.
This precise porosity enhances flavor and color development while preserving freshness and maintaining the product’s original quality.
ENOXITE SMOKE®: GAS PERMEABILITY VALUES
To achieve the necessary smoke penetration in the production of smoked meat, a mixture of PA with 20-30% of Enoxite Smoke S20 or S30 is recommended. WVTR and OTR values for S20 mixed with PA6 on 20 and 30% concentration compared to 100% PA6 permeability are here shown. It is also possible to combine these products with copolyamides (discover our Promyde packaging portfolio).
Samples produced at NUREL by blown extrusion (not three bubble). Please note that production process could affect to permeability values obtained.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ENOXITE® SMOKE is based on high-performance technical polymers, including PVOH (polyvinyl alcohol) variants, selected for their excellent permeability and mechanical properties.
Yes, ENOXITE® SMOKE is versatile and perfectly suited for manufacturing casings used in cheese smoking, ensuring optimal smoke penetration and an appealing finish.
Its high permeability accelerates smoke absorption and moisture release, which can significantly reduce smoking times, optimising production cycles and saving energy.
Its advanced formulation achieves a superior balance between high smoke and vapour permeability, excellent physical properties (strength, elasticity, shrinkage), and ideal product adhesion, all designed for consistently premium results.
