Homepage // News Center // PolyOne Ultraviolet Light Barrier Technology Advances Packaged Food and Beverage Protection in China SUZHOU, China – PolyOne today announced that its ColorMatrix™ Ultimate UV390 light blocking technology is now approved for use in PET packaging for food and beverage in China. It enables brands and packaging converters to enhance protection for UV-sensitive foods and beverages packaged in PET.

Homepage // News Center // Avient Debuts Next-Generation Solutions to Facilitate Use of Recycled Plastics in Packaging Applications These sustainability solutions are specifically designed to improve the customer experience of working with post-consumer recycled (PCR) content for materials used in packaging. Applications for polyolefins stabilized with this additive include packaging, automotive parts and consumer goods. 

Cesa™ Anti-Block Slip LS Additives for low-temperature sealing layers in flexible polyolefin packaging FOOD PACKAGING IN A CHANGING MARKET In many food contact applications, flexible plastic packaging is replacing rigid packaging for varied reasons; it has lightweight characteristics, is easy to customize in any shape, and has a favorable carbon footprint. Current packaging trends also place sustainability front and center. WHAT IT DOES Cesa™ Anti-Block Slip LS is a range of additives for flexible polyolefin packaging that helps convertors and brand owners switch from multi-material to mono-material packaging.

This new color and special effects option helps polymer packaging do just that. Creating the high gloss, metallic effect involves varying the amount of colorant and the thickness of packaging walls, enabling infinite options to be created for a variety of fantastic packaging looks. Our testing has shown that packaging manufactured with Impress does not have flow lines.

FOOD PACKAGING ADDITIVE SOLVES A STICKY SITUATIONChalle nge Accepted. CASE STUDY: ONCAP™ DENESTING ADDITIVE SOLUTIONS THE CHALLENGE A leading sheet producer faced a challenge when one of its largest customers, a food packaging converter, received end-user complaints that its food packaging trays were difficult to separate because they tended to stick together. Avient offers OnCap™ Denesting additive solutions to enable effective package separation and improve manufacturing operations such as mold release during thermoforming and packaging pick and place operations.

Cesa™ Raise Heat Stability Modifier for APET Packaging Cesa™ Raise is a heat stability modifier specifically designed for amorphous polyethylene terephthalate (APET) thermoformed packaging. This helps make APET food packaging suitable for a wider range of applications, including hot steam sterilization, hot fill, and microwave use. MARKETS & APPLICATIONS • Thermoformed, APET food packaging, including: - Hot steam sterilization - Hot fill - Microwave use • Polyester • Sheet extrusion & thermoforming KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Suitable for hot steam sterilization, hot fill, and microwave applications • Ideal for food-grade containers with high rigidity and improved gas barrier • Can withstand temperatures up to 100°C • Available in both transparent and opaque options • Processable on existing thermoforming lines with heated molds KEY BENEFITS • A fully circular monomaterial, up to 100% rPET polymer content • Promotion of the circularity of PET and the resulting packaging is possible • Helps customers to comply with the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) that demands recyclability of all packaging with binding PCR content targets by 2030 • Demonstrates improved productivity in comparison to CPET during thermoforming • Helps avoid possible EPR fees or penalties on difficult-to-recycle packaging PRODUCT BULLETIN Copyright © 2025, Avient Corporation.

OnColor™ IR Sortable Black Infrared Sortable Black for Recyclable Packaging OnColor™ Infrared Sortable Black for Recyclable Packaging is a black colorant created without the addition of carbon black pigment. Detection and sorting of black products in material recovery facilities is a known issue which affects the packaging and recycling industries. In the presence of carbon black, currently used to color most black packaging, all the wavelengths are absorbed and black polymers can’t be identified, inevitably keeping black packaging out of recycling streams at considerable cost to our environment.

Bottles made of PET or rPET can be recycled into new bottles or packaging. This makes the material ideal for food and beverage packaging because the ingredients held within the bottle or package are preserved and protected. It also has a lower carbon footprint than alternative packaging materials.

GLS™ TPES FOR SOFT TOUCH PACKAGING SOLUTIONS PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE SOFT TOUCH IS A PACKAGING DIFFERENTIATOR You’ve heard it before: Consumers view packaging as an extension of the product and their first perception of value is often based on the look and feel of the package. Soft touch packaging. THE SENSORY EXPERIENCE Packaging that connects with consumers through multiple senses is a hot topic, especially in the cosmetic and luxury packaging sectors.
