An active system comprising exchanged zeolites is provided as ethylene scavenger coating, suitable to improve the fruits and vegetables lifetime by controlling ethylene concentration within the package itself.

Innovative active and barrier functionalities can be obtained by integrating in the lacquer formulation other advanced material such as specialty zeolites and beads/capsules.

Most of us have had personal experience with Vision Forum. Others of us have simply become alarmed by the the heresies Vision Forum promotes and the harm we have seen its teachings do to those around us. We live in different states across the country and hold no one set of beliefs, but we are united in our desire to reveal the problems with Vision Forum and its teachings.

We believe that Vision Forum’s teachings are neither Biblical nor healthy, and that Vision Forum offers only the allure of the “godly family.”

Vision Forum is an evangelical Christian organization based in San Antonio, Texas. It has two branches, Vision Forum Ministries, which is a nonprofit, and Vision Forum, Inc., which is the commercial wing of the operation.

Flexible packaging sector is experiencing a fast growth and the most modern and innovative coating materials are designed to overcome the drawbacks of existing coatings and to pay more attention to sustainability making packaging itself more performing and less environmental impactful.

High barrier coatings act as hurdles to oxygen, moisture/water vapor, CO2 and volatile organics in order to prevent the penetration or loss of the specific gas.

Chemical reactors equipped with temperature and internal atmosphere controllers can be used for lab-scale and pilot-scale production of lacquers and formulations. Advanced coatings are applied by means of high-speed deposition techniques thanks to an innovative roll-to-roll pilot line designed for coating and lamination; this versatile tool is composed by:

First, Vision Forum elevates the family to the position of an idol. Yes, the family is important, very important, but we believe Jesus came to save people as individuals, not family units. We believe God forms relationships with people individually, not simply through their families. Jesus told his followers to follow him first and forsake all else, and spoke of individual freedom and conscience, not group salvation.

Advanced active coatings are innovative solutions able to selectively interact and control the package’s internal atmosphere thus extending products shelf life and ingredients preservation without the need to use preservative additives.

Unlike typical oxygen barrier coatings which fall under high humidity conditions, the innovative approach based on the integration in lacquers of crosslinkers and beads technology ensures greater stability of oxygen barrier coatings under high RH conditions (>80%) typical of wet applications.

Because we come from a variety of different walks of life and a variety of different beliefs, we do not have any one doctrinal creed. Most of us are Christian but some have left religion entirely. Similarly, we take no one position on proper gender roles. Some of us are egalitarians and others are complementarians. The goal of this website is not to endorse a specific set of beliefs but rather simply to disclose the myriad of problems we have found with Vision Forum and its teachings.

***Update: Vision Forum founder and president Doug Phillips has admitted to an extramarital affair and has resigned his position as head of Vision Forum Ministries. In response, the Board of Vision Forum Ministries has decided to close the ministry down. However, Vision Forum Inc., the commercial wing of the operation, is still operating, with Doug Phillips at its helm. The blog section of this website is being updated with new articles on this subject.***

We have a variety of different beliefs, but we are united in exposing the dirty underbelly of the perfect Vision Forum image.

SAES innovative functional coatings are designed to confer active and barrier functionalities to the final packaging solution, in order to exert not only the conventional protective function from the external environment, but also to guarantee the increase of the product shelf life, via specific interactions with the internal atmosphere.

A new generation of advanced packaging able to selectively interact and change the package’s internal atmosphere is obtained by introducing active functionalities into coating formulation.

Active components can be dissolved or dispersed in the lacquer formulation and include different type of chemical and physical gas scavenger able to absorb or block the target molecule; the high selectivity of active system guarantees excellent performance even in the presence of high humidity and other VOCs.

It is our contention that the “Biblical” principles laid out by Vision Forum are lists of man-made rules that do not accurately reflect Jesus’ gospel of freedom and love. It is time to expose these teachings for what they are. We encourage you to look at the information on this site with open eyes and not be led astray by the legalism and false vision of godliness set forth by Vision Forum.

Gas barrier coatings would slow down or block the permeation through the film of gases like oxygen, water vapor, carbon dioxide and other gases that have a major impact on the quality of products.

Transparent multi-gas barrier solution is provided by the synergistic effects of water-based coating technology and AlOx deposition.

Are Doug and Beall Phillips still married

Vision Forum is a major advocate of Biblical Patriarchy. This ideology includes the belief that there are God ordained distinct gender roles and that man was created first and woman’s creation was secondary. It holds that patriarchy is the divine family order ordained by God itself. The husband and father is the head of the household, family leader, provider, and protector; the wife and mother, created to be a helper to her husband, is a bearer of children and a “keeper at home,”  remaining in her God-ordained and proper sphere of dominion for a wife, the the home; and the children are to remain obedient to their parents, even as adults. Children are to marry through a process of courtship guided at every step by their parents, and unmarried adult daughters are to remain under their fathers’ authority and in their fathers’ homes. This patriarchal family order is held to be divine and God ordained; stepping outside of it is held to be rejecting God’s will and listening to the lies of “the world.”

Compared to other available technologies, the reduced thickness achievable with advanced functional coatings enable the elimination of multilayer films ensuring the recyclability or compostability of the final packaging product, and allows the packaging downgauging (high product-to-package ratios) while keeping high gas barrier properties.

The inherent strengths of the advanced coating technology is the possibility to tailor functional properties according to the application requirements and to easily process and conform them into a wide range of structures. Advanced coatings can be designed to additionally provide exceptional thermal-mechanical attributes, suitable surface wettability/printability, enhanced adhesion and increased transparency leading to a brighter package.

Vision Forum has been swiftly gaining influence in Christian homeschool circles over the past decade. Vision Forum booths and speakers can be found at any major Christian homeschool convention, and the organization has built networks across the Christian homeschool world.

Coatings are largely used in the packaging industry to improve the properties of the flexible film substrate and guarantee extended shelf life of the products with a focus on final packaging sustainability.

The term “barrier” indicates the function of the film to seal contents from outside factors that would cause quality degradation and to preserve inside original conditions.

Coating solutions can be processed on an extended variety of substrates such as plastic films (LDPE, MDO PE, BOPP, BOPET, PA) and bioplastic films (Mater-Bi, PLA) but are also suitable for application on paper-based packaging or modification of cellulose fibers.

An oxygen scavenger is a material in which reactive compounds may combine with oxygen to reduce or completely remove oxygen in enclosed volume. The purpose of an oxygen scavenger is to limit the amount of oxygen available for deteriorative reactions that can lead to reduced functionality of many types of products: lipid oxidation, nutritional loss, changes in flavor and aroma, alteration of texture, and microbial spoilage. Antioxidant coating, able to inhibit the propagation of oxidizing reaction, is obtained by integration of natural antioxidant materials specifically selected and, if required, designed in capsules/core-shell structures to guarantee chemical and physical compatibility.

SAES patented functional coatings are obtained from biodegradable water-based and solvent-free lacquers; barrier materials are developed and combined with special additives and crosslinkers to achieve high or ultra-high oxygen barriers and, in synergistic combination with Al metallization or AlOx deposition, to add high moisture barrier properties.

Second, Vision Forum lays out a one size fits all “formula” for the perfect godly family. This leads to frustration for those who don’t fit the mold and can have the effect of stifling and smothering all those involved. Jesus did not call his followers to adhere to man-made formulas, but rather to freedom in Christ. Formulas distract from trusting God and distract from diversity and individuality.

The patriarchal family order is seen as key to fixing our society, the family, and the world, and as crucial to bringing about the coming kingdom of God here on earth. Vision Forum subscribes to dominionism, which is the belief that God has called Christians to take over society, mass culture, and government, bringing them into line with God’s law and essentially instituting a theocracy and a hierarchical and ordered society.

Barrier films used in the food industry ensure aroma protection, longer shelf life and less food waste along the value chain.
