Phormanto™ is Dow’s packaging technology that combines sustainability, innovation and harmony with the future.

A revolution for the food market.

With Phormanto™, we introduce the solution for vacuum thermoformed packaging, which can increase the shelf life of fresh foods, ensuring freshness and quality for longer. A new leak-proof concept, resulting in cleaner shelves and a more hygienic environment. 

Compared to traditional packaging technologies, packaging produced with Phormanto™ technology can reduce costs and reduce waste at all links in the value chain. Because it is recyclable, it meets an increasingly frequent demand for more sustainable packaging.

In order to meet the different barrier requirements of each product, Phormanto™ comes in two forms: 

– Films without oxygen barrier, ideal for fresh or seasoned chilled chicken as well as frozen products. 

– Oxygen barrier films, for products such as whole or sliced ​​cheeses, meats, breads and sausages. 

In order to offer a complete solution, ULMA is our partner in charge of commercializing and configuring the equipment and the appropriate thermoforming process for the packaging using the Phormanto™ technology.

On the other hand, they are also a key factor in reducing losses in the food chain. The more modern and innovative, the more sales and, consequently, the more cash in the pocket. Phormanto™ is a technology produced from high-performance polyethylene resins that speaks for itself: possibility of achieving a longer shelf-life, sustainable and leak-proof packaging, ideal for packaging varied foods such as cheeses, fresh chicken, breads, sausages, fish, whole and cold cuts, as well as meats in general.
