Colorant Chromatics™ UV Laser Marking Technology UV and Light Blocking Additives ColorMatrix™ Ultimate™ UV390 Light Barrier for PET

Discover the benefits UV light blockers offer for PET beverage packaging Effective UV light blocking additive technology optimizes PET container performance to provide greater protection for UV-sensitive beverages. With UV protection, formulators have more flexibility to use UV sensitive ingredients and not rely on the formulation alone to be UV-stable.

Higher hardness and filled grades usually have lower ultimate elongation and therefore are more easily degated.
