COLOR MASTER Casings and Film<br />
VISCOAT ® Casings and Film from VISKASE ® are a unique combination of a multi-layer plastic with<br />
an inner paper layer treated specifically to impart natural colors or smoke to the finished products.<br />
They provide all the benefits of a barrier casing without limiting product quality or taste.<br />
Features<br />
Characteristics<br />
• Purge Resistance: casings and film are<br />
specially formulated to minimize purging<br />
• Diameter Control: ensures optimum<br />
productivity and reduces product giveaway<br />
• Moisture Barrier: minimizes the transfer of<br />
moisture, maximizes product yield during<br />
cooking, and limits product weight loss during<br />
storage<br />
• High Oxygen Barrier: extends the shelf life of<br />
the product<br />

Product Usage<br />
SOAKING: VISCOAT ® products do not require<br />
soaking prior to use. All products which are<br />
pre-treated with natural colors and flavors should<br />
never be soaked in water prior to stuffing.<br />
STUFFING / CLIPPING: It is important to select the<br />
proper clip size and clipping pressure to assure a<br />
tight fit without causing damage to the product.<br />
Storage & Handling<br />
Store VISCOAT ® products in a cool, dry place avoiding proximity to heat sources as well as hot or<br />
freezing storage areas. Pre-moisturized products should be stored at temperatures between 55°<br />
to 75° F (12° - 24° C) and should remain sealed in original containers until ready for use. Unused<br />
products should be kept in airtight bags and replaced in the original carton to maintain proper<br />
moisture content. Keep stock current by using the oldest stock first. To avoid possible damage, it<br />
is imperative that knives, sharp instruments and hooks not be used to open packaging.<br />
