PolyOne Ultraviolet Light Barrier Technology Advances Packaged Food and Beverage Protection in China
PolyOne announces that its ColorMatrix Ultimate UV390 light blocking technology is now approved for use in PET packaging for food and beverage in China. This additive technology can increase shelf life of a product in a container by decreasing the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) light on the taste, odor and color of food and beverages without compromising container clarity.
Steven Chai, general manager for Asia, PolyOne ColorMatrix, says, “In today’s consumer-focused world, consistent product quality is fundamental to gaining consumer trust and brand loyalty. This technology reduces the risk for quality degradation in UV-sensitive products. It also provides an alternative to sleeve and opaque designs for containers, enabling customers to achieve aesthetic appeal with high-clarity containers that are also easy to recycle.”
