This includes a single point level monitoring system to indicate when a delivery pack change is required.

Combine your OnColor HC colorants and OnCap HC additives into a single Smartbatch™ formulation.

Simpler production process – Overmolding Versaflex PKG TPEs is an effective method for simplifying a two-step process into a single step

Increasing the Use and Viability of rPET THE USE OF PET FOR SINGLE-USE BOTTLES IS UNIVERSAL.

They provide excellent contrast for dark or light colors with high resistance to external friction or chemicals • Smartbatch™ Combination Colorants & Additives: Combines colorants and performance enhancing additives in a single formulation for easier dosing. e.g., long-term light stabilization additive and custom color in one pellet.

WithStand antimicrobial additives can be combined with colorants or other functional additives in a single masterbatch or liquid solution to get the exact performance needed.

Compared to rubber and silicone alternatives they simplify manufacturing with single-step fabrication, reducing the energy used in production and can be overmolded directly onto non-polar polymer substrates such as polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE).

To increase the user-friendly aspects of UHT dairy packaging, ColorMatrix Lactra LX Light Blocking Additive expands design freedom by allowing designers to use a single PET layer bottle to create the same visible light blocking as paperboard and multilayer HDPE and PET packaging.
