Keep your produce in its prime— from shipping to shelf.

Pineapples, melons and avocados produce their own natural layer of wax. It’s a powerful barrier protecting the fruit from pathogens, oxygen, and UV rays. Critically, it prevents water loss and water absorption.

Kata Protect strengthens the existing cuticle, adding another tougher layer. While equally biodegradable, it extends the crop’s freshness all the way to the shelf.

Travel-ready.

Nature didn’t plan on its produce traveling hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. So, we need to provide some extra padding.

Kata Protect keeps your crop from bruising during transport and storage. And protects it from extreme temperatures during shipping.

Lock in the freshness.
Lock in the nutrition.

Our soft, pliant wax is able to enter deep into nanoscopic crevices for complete coverage of the peel. Once in place, its long-chain hydrocarbon molecules act like a chain-link fence: they stay in place.

The result is a pineapple, peach or pear that has ripened to plan. It arrives at its destination fresh, maintaining its shine and nutrition.

Kata Protect adds a tough additional layer to the crop’s natural wax coat.
Pathogens are repelled, avoiding spoilage during transit.
Extra padding helps avoid bruising during transit.
Insulates produce from excessive temperature spikes and drops.
