ColorMatrix™ Lactra™ SX Light Blocking Additive
High-performance, visible light blocking technology
for extended shelf life, UHT dairy PET packaging
PRODUCT BULLETIN
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ColorMatrix™ Lactra™ SX Light Blocking Additive
is a solid masterbatch additive that, when added
to PET to make monolayer bottles, provides
high-performance light blocking technology and
protection for liquid dairy contents.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Design for shelf life, ergonomics
and differentiation
• Lighter weight bottles
• Lower system cost vs. other
rigid packaging
TARGET MARKET AND APPLICATIONS
UHT Dairy Packaging
TECHNOLOGY BENEFITS
• 100% visible light blocking for monolayer
containers
• Recyclable with general PET waste stream,
even though additive is also present
• Lower system cost
• Offers shape differentiation for containers
• Enables container designs that increase ease
of pouring
• Useful for re-sealable containers
• Useful for containers that can be stored flat
after opening
• Offers light-weighting for PET bottle without
reducing light blocking performance

An Universal polyamide overmolding TPE technology has been
developed by inventing novel compatibilization technology.
They exhibit Universal bonding to every type of polyamide tested, unlike the earlier technologies which were
very sensitive to the type of polyamide.
NEW POLYAMIDE OVERMOLD TECHNOLOGY
We have developed a universal polyamide OM TPE technology platform(4).
