Integra Boost 2800cc Oxygen Scavengers Sit Between the 2000cc and the 4000cc
The number on the sachet is a volume of oxygen, not a size of container. At 2800cc this one consumes the oxygen in roughly 3.5 gallons of trapped air. Only about 21% of what is sealed in there is oxygen in the first place. That puts it between the 2000cc and the 4000cc. It suits packages where the smaller sachet comes up short and the larger one is more than the job needs. Each sachet binds free oxygen out of the headspace and locks it into a stable compound. Twenty-four ship in a foil barrier bag with one oxygen indicator card, and the case holds 19 bags for 456 doses.
Oxygen Absorbers for Long Term Food Storage, and Where They Stop
This is where people get caught out, so it is worth saying directly. These remove oxygen and nothing else. They do not control humidity, and a package that needs both wants a two-way pack alongside them. The reaction is one-way and single-use, and it starts the moment the barrier bag is opened. That is why a bag gets worked through in one session rather than left standing on a bench. And none of it counts for anything without a real oxygen barrier around the package — Mylar, foil, or a gasketed jar. A zip bag or a screw-top tub leaks air back in faster than the sachet can take it out. The dose is spent for nothing. The indicator card is the check on all of it, reading pink at low oxygen and blue when oxygen is present.
Key Features
- Rated at 2800cc Each: Consumes roughly 3.5 gallons worth of trapped air, which is where the mid-size lands.
- Removes Oxygen, Not Moisture: Oxygen drives oxidation, color change and aerobic spoilage; humidity packs do not touch it.
- The In-Between Capacity: For packages that a 2000cc sachet undersizes and a 4000cc oversizes.
- 24 Per Barrier Bag: Open one bag at a time and use all 24, rather than breaking into the whole case.
- Oxygen Indicator Card in Every Bag: Pink at low oxygen, blue when oxygen is present, purple in between.
- 456 Sachets Per Case: Nineteen bags, the only odd bag count in the family and the mid point on doses per case.
- One-Way and Single Use: The reaction cannot be reversed, so a spent sachet is replaced rather than recharged.
- Self-Activating on Air Contact: Work starts when the barrier bag opens, which is why unused sachets get resealed straight away.
- Needs a True Barrier Container: Mylar, foil or a gasketed jar; a zip bag or a screw-top tub leaks air back in.

How Is a 2800cc Sachet Sized?
Measure the air left in the sealed package and take about 21% of it, since that is the oxygen fraction. 2800cc covers roughly 3.5 gallons of residual air.
Does This Control Humidity?
No. It removes oxygen only. Moisture control is a separate job and needs a two-way humidity pack alongside it.
Can a Sachet Be Recharged?
No. The reaction is one-way and the sachet is single-use, so a spent one is replaced rather than dried out and reused.
What Happens if the Container Is Not Airtight?
Air leaks back in and the sachet is consumed for nothing. A true oxygen barrier is what makes the dose count.
