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.

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.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-02/ColorMatrix Triple A Brochure.pdf
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.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-04/ColorMatrix UV Brochure.pdf
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.
