Oxygen scavengers are chemicals or materials that remove or reduce oxygen levels in a specific environment. When combined with other technologies or materials, oxygen scavengers can enhance their effectiveness.
## Applications
1. *Food packaging*: Oxygen scavengers can help preserve food freshness by reducing oxygen levels in packaging.
2. *Industrial processes*: They can protect equipment and products from oxidation and corrosion.
3. *Medical devices*: Oxygen scavengers can help maintain device integrity and prevent degradation.
## Benefits
1. *Extended shelf life*: By reducing oxygen levels, oxygen scavengers can help extend the shelf life of products.
2. *Improved product quality*: By preventing oxidation and spoilage, oxygen scavengers can help maintain product quality.
