An oxygen-absorbing label consisting of a base sheet, adhesive on the base sheet for securing the base sheet to an internal surface of a container, an oxygen-absorbing composition on the base sheet, and a cover sheet secured to the base sheet to confine the oxygen-absorbing composition therebetween, the cover sheet being fabricated of material which will permit oxygen to pass therethrough but will not stain due to the oxidation of the oxygen-absorbing composition or due to contact with materials in the container. A plurality of the foregoing labels are mounted on a web to be used with conventional labeling equipment.

Oxygen-absorbing label

An oxygen absorbing composition having an effective amount of at least one oxygen absorbent contained in an emulsion. An oxygen absorbing product is produced by dispersing an oxygen absorbent in an emulsion to form an oxygen absorbing composition and transferring the oxygen absorbing composition onto a substrate.

Oxygen absorbing composition

A canister for a desiccant or other particulate material including a substantially cylindrical molded plastic body having an integral end wall and an inner surface and an open end, a cap having an inner surface and a portion which enters the open end of the body and is retained therein by a bead and groove connection, desiccant in the canister, and very small apertures in the cap and end wall, the apertures diverging in diameter from the inner surfaces of the cap and end wall toward the outer surfaces thereof to thereby tend to impede passage of the desiccant out of the canister and also tend to obviate clogging of the apertures.

Desiccant canister for desiccants and other particulate material

An oxygen-absorbing label and a moisture-sensitive label. The oxygen-absorbing label consists of a base sheet, adhesive on the base sheet for securing the base sheet to an internal surface of a container, an oxygen-absorbing composition on the base sheet, and a permeable cover sheet secured to the base sheet to confine the oxygen-absorbing composition therebetween. The moisture-sensitive label is one wherein a moisture-sensitive material is used as part of the label instead of the oxygen-absorbing composition. The moisture-sensitive material may be a moisture adsorber such as silica gel or molecular sieve, or it may be a moisture supplier such as hydrogel. A plurality of the foregoing labels are mounted on a web to be used with conventional labeling equipment.
