PRODUCT BULLETIN Cesa™ & OnCap™ Animal-Free & Food Contact Approved Film Additives Animal-Free Additive Solutions for Flexible Food Packaging with Extensive Food Contact Approvals FOOD PACKAGING IN A CHANGING MARKET In many food contact applications, flexible plastic packaging is replacing rigid packaging for varied reasons; it has lightweight characteristics, is easy to customize in any shape, and has a favorable carbon footprint. Converters and brand owners working with flexible film products are seeking extended food contact compliance for their packaging options, as this gives them the potential to increase their global market reach and share. Current packaging trends also place sustainability front and center.

VALUE SOLUTION Traditionally light blocking was achieved with use of multilayer HDPE and PET packaging. Both paperboard and multilayer polymers restrict design freedom, so that the packaging is often less than ergonomic. To increase the user friendly aspects of UHT dairy packaging, ColorMatrix Lactra SX 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.

Support hygiene concept: Packaging with anti-fog plus additives help to limit the growth of bacteria and fungi and reduce waste by prolonging the shelf life of food, maintaining its freshness in the packaging. Increase brand image: Anti-fog plus additives enhance the appeal and attractiveness of food packaging. They reinforce packaging integrity by maintaining a film’s sealing properties, avoiding delamination of the film structure, and maintaining transparency.

This technology ensures PET food & beverage packaging will protect its contents from oxygen ingress and help prolong product shelf life. Compared to different types of food & beverage packaging, PET is often preferred because of it’s high clarity, can be easily recycled many times and offers brand owners freedom of design to differentiate their product packaging to create greater shelf appeal. With a reduction in both haze and pearlescence the packaging gives wa premium feel.

Mevopur color and performance concentrates as well as ready-to-use formulations add value to a wide range of applications: MEDICAL DEVICES • Drug delivery • Catheters • Renal care/dialysis • Surgical instruments • Dental instruments • Medical device packaging • Electronic instruments and accessories for monitoring PHARMACEUTICAL PACKAGING • Vials, ampoules • Bottles for pills, liquid medicines • Blister packaging IN VITRO DIAGNOSTICS (IVD) • Blood analysis • IVD devices • IVD disposables (e.g., pipette tips) • Point-of-Care To meet various manufacturing processes, colorants and functional additives are provided as concentrates for dilution into the polymer or as ready-to-use formulations. Additionally, other standard portfolios, such as colors for ophthalmic closures or white for pharmaceutical packaging, help fast-track the coloration of specific healthcare applications. BIO-BASED SOLUTIONS Bio-polymers are already used with success in different plastic products, notably in packaging, but to be used in healthcare applications, they need to be risk-assessed.

Make sure the bottles you select as packaging for those products reflect the value of your brands. Optimized packaging meets your standards for clever design, manufacturing excellence and consumer appeal. Caps and closures are critical in delivering a high quality package to consumers.
