Meet PCR and recycled content requirements and mandates Cesa™ Raise Heat Stability Modifier for APET Packaging Rejoin™ PCR Colorants

OnCap™ Anti-fog Additives Fog formation on food packaging frustrates consumers, can lead to product spoilage, and ultimately hinders sales. Formulations of OnCap™ anti-fog materials have been developed for use in many of the different film constructions designed for fresh food packaging. Packaging made with anti-fog additives offers the transparency and fog prevention required to confidently present fresh foods to consumers.

Keeps black packaging within the Circular Economy and out of landfills. ColorMatrix™ Optica™ Toners For PET improves clarity and color tone and increases the amount of post-consumer recycled (PCR) content while maintaining aesthetics. Additives are often included in PET packaging to help protect contents and extend shelf life, but they can decrease packaging clarity.

What size of packaging is normally used? The packaging is designed to effectively contain and transport Avient liquid colors and additives. PlanetPak containers are available in a range of sizes either for use with the FlexCart or as standalone packaging for customers’ orders.

Once bottles are blown and filled, AA can migrate from container walls into its contents, giving an undesirable taste and odor to the packaged product. Triple A can help to ensure consistent and reliable control of AA levels and as a result is important in reducing brand risk for products packaged in PET. Triple A™ offers a cost- effective and reliable solution for reducing and controlling AA levels which can cause off-taste in products packaged in PET.

Both UV390 and UV390R technologies can be particularly effective in working towards lighter, more recyclable packaging, alongside potential productivity benefits and maintaining product protection. In some situations the Ultimate UV range can vastly improve both the processing and mechanical properties of packaging incorporating recycled material. UV light can cause reactions in UV sensitive food and beverages that result in changes in taste, odor and texture, as well as degrading colored dyes and pigments in plastic packaging.
