• Iced coffee WHY DO DAIRY PRODUCTS NEED LIGHT PROTECTION?
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 PASTEURIZED MILK Typical shelf life 5–10 days WHITE COLOR LACTRA ESL LACTRA SX or LACTRA 4 EXTENDED SHELF LIFE MILK Typical shelf life 2 weeks–3 months UHT MILK & PRODUCTS Typical shelf life 4–12 months Lightweighting/CO2 reduction Reduced LDR – material & cost savings Improved processing performance BENEFITS OF COLORMATRIX™ LACTRA™ Improved bottle performance Compatibility with rPET Helps to Protect Performance Energy efficiency Whiteness 85–92 L* 30% less life cycle emissions Increased machinery life cycle due to reduced wear & tear 80–100% light blocking performance © 2024, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012
