Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic

Continuous fiber reinforced thermoset composites combine high molecular weight resins with glass or carbon fibers. These products can operate at high temperatures and have strong mechanical properties. The fibers will pull and eventually fracture but will withstand high loads due to the high tensile modulus of the reinforcement.

High viscosity flow. High molded-in stress. High shear in the material.

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.

A leading medical contract manufacturer faced an unacceptably high number of rejected parts for a pulmonary device housing. Without a consistently flat surface, the manufacturer encountered a variety of issues involving both the form and function of the part, leading to the high number of rejected parts.
