Nutritional components in dairy
products are photosensitive,
making them susceptible to
light degradation
• Light protection in dairy packaging
helps maintain product integrity
and extend shelf life
A LIGHT BLOCKING SOLUTION THAT
PROVIDES:
• Light blocking and whiteness in PET dairy packaging
• Protection from 2 weeks up to 12 months shelf life
• Compatibility with monolayer and multilayer PET
preforms
• Full compatibility with rPET
• Food contact approved (region dependent)
• Low TiO₂ levels to increase recyclability, aligning
with the emergence of white recycle streams
