ColorMatrix™ Lactra™ SX Light Blocking Additives for PET provided high-performance light blocking technology and enabled a recyclable alternative to long-life dairy packaging. This additive is particularly suitable in packaging for ultra-high temperature (UHT) liquid dairy products, as these types of products have a longer shelf life, making them more susceptible to light-induced oxidation due to ambient storage conditions.
