Henderson Group See Clearly through the Fog

Following a study commissioned by the Henderson Group with their refrigeration partners, Portglenone Refrigeration Services Ltd (PRS), The Group made a commitment to retro-fit Clarifoil® Anti-fog film to their entire fleet of in-store freezers.

Recognising that condensation forming on freezer doors badly impairs product visibility and consumer product selection, they evaluated a number of solutions to resolve the issue before selecting Clarifoil Anti-fog film.

Glen Crumley of Henderson Group said, ‘’We selected Clarifoil from a range of options, not only because it proved to be the best solution in maintaining clarity of the glass, but it enabled us to make considerable energy savings by reducing the power consumed by the freezer door trim heaters’’

As part of the study, PRS measured the benefit of fitting adjustable controls to all Henderson Group freezers, designed to accurately control the power supplied to each individual freezer unit.

Clarifoil Anti-fog film can maintain the clarity of freezer doors even when trim heater power consumption is reduced by 75%, delivering savings of up to 6 kWh per freezer door per day. An annualised saving of 1,100 Megawatt hours of energy gave a strong case for the return-on-investment argument even before consideration is given to the increase in sales generated through the improved display of products.

Henderson Group and PRS selected OVAGLAS® to install Clarifoil because of their proven track record. Andrew Dunwoody of PRS said, ‘’OVAGLAS® were the obvious choice with their experience of installing Clarifoil in a working grocery environment. The installation teams showed the utmost professionalism and efficiency, completing the work across the group in just 10 working days’’

The project, to retro-fit Clarifoil on over 550 doors, was completed within normal shop hours with minimal disruption to store activity and was completed ahead of schedule.

A New Partnership Providing Clarity for the Grocery Sector

APRIL, 15TH, 2021 – MPH Global LLC and OVAGLAS® Ltd. are pleased to announce a supply collaboration with Celanese Corporation to provide the comprehensive sales, installation and servicing of Celanese’s Clarifoil® anti-fog film in North America, Central America and the Caribbean markets. MPH will continue the sale and distribution of Celanese’s Clarifoil® film, while best-in-class installers OVAGLAS® will provide installation, service and warranty via their nationwide network of in-house technicians. The coming together of these three entities will provide a truly turn-key solution to eliminate fog from doors, reduce energy consumption and improve product visibility.

Already the market-leading anti-fog film used by grocery retailers, case manufacturers, and glass door producers throughout Europe, the use of Clarifoil® anti-fog film in North America will accelerate via this mutually beneficial agreement between MPH, OVAGLAS® and Celanese. Clarifoil®, a cellulose acetate-based film, delivers best-in-class performance for condensation removal and durability. The seasoned OVAGLAS® team have retrofitted Clarifoil® anti-fog film on more than 45,000 doors, while Celanese’s other customers have implemented its Clarifoil® anti-fog film technology on more than 1,000,000 OEM and retrofit doors.

Celanese Announces Exclusive Partnership with Protective Film Solutions for Retrofitting Patented Cellulose Diacetate Anti-fog Film on Freezer Doors

AMSTERDAM (September 11, 2018) – Celanese Corporation (NYSE:CE), a global specialty materials company, today announced it has signed an agreement with Protective Film Solutions (Europe) Ltd.® to become an exclusive partner for retrofitting existing freezer doors with Celanese’s Clarifoil® cellulose diacetate anti-fog film in grocery stores and supermarkets in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

“Protective Film Solutions has selected Celanese’s sustainably sourced Clarifoil anti-fog film to help deliver a more convenient and enjoyable customer experience by keeping grocery store freezer doors free from fogging, as well as eliminating the need to repeatedly open and shut doors, which helps save energy for retail store operators and reduce electricity spend,” said Stephen Ball, Managing Director, Protective Film Solutions. “According to broad industry research, retail grocery stores can reduce their energy spend by as much as 1.5-2.0 kilowatt hours (KWH) per day per freezer door if they use this anti-fog film. Presuming a 75 door retail store, this translates into a cost savings of between £5000-£10,000 per store, per annum and a reduction of the equivalent of approximately 31 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. We are looking forward to not only the energy reduction opportunities for our retail grocery store customers, but also the improved customer experience the Clarifoil film will deliver.”

Clarifoil is a leading product line of sustainably sourced and biodegradable cellulose diacetate films, which has also recently been accredited with the Plastic Free™ trust mark. Primary grades include films suitable for applications such as anti-fog, bio-packaging, carton windows, print lamination, labels, tapes, thermoforming, optical, casino chips, etc., in industries which serve luxury consumer goods, product packaging, pharmaceutical/medical, electronics, construction, advertising, entertainment and anti-counterfeit.

“We regularly develop new grades of Clarifoil film, each based on cellulose diacetate, to meet stringent customer demands, including tamper-evident labels and seals, to thermoformed food containers, to high-end packaging and optical applications,” said Kevin Parker, Director of Celanese’s Clarifoil business.

In addition to Clarifoil, Celanese has a history of supporting and developing end-uses for acetate flake and acetate tow outside of primary filtration applications. Currently, in close cooperation with two partners, Celanese is in the process of developing and commercializing several applications such as coatings, medical wound dressing and face masks.

“Building upon our 100 years of history in this business, Celanese continues to invest to find new ways for using sustainable acetate flake and acetate tow materials beyond textiles, filtration, luxury packaging, plastics and insulation. We are pleased with the recent successes in Clarifoil and the growth of our project pipeline to achieve that goal,” said Harald Bruggeman, Vice President of Sales, Celanese cellulose derivatives business.
