OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants Near Infrared Sortable Black and Dark Colorants for Recyclable Packaging OnColor™ NIR Sortable Black and Dark Colorants for recyclable packaging promotes correct sorting and recycling of dark polymers. THE LURE & COMPLEXITY OF DARK PACKAGING SHADES Dark packaging has always been a popular choice by brand owners and is therefore widely used across different applications and packaging types. It is well known that detection and sorting of black or dark packaging in material recovery facilities is a complex issue affecting the packaging and recycling industries extensively.

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.

DAIRY PACKAGING OPTIONS Dairy brands have employed various packaging materials and formats to protect dairy products from visible light including colored glass, laminated paperboard cartons, and multilayer plastics. Monolayer PET expands design freedom, allowing designers to create unique packaging shapes with the same visible light blocking as paperboard and multilayer HDPE packaging. PRODUCT BULLETIN LEGISLATION & TARIFFS As the packaging industry seeks to align with global sustainability trends, many new legislative changes surrounding single use plastic packaging can be observed.

PRODUCT BULLETIN Cesa™ & OnCap™ Animal-Free & Food Contact Approved Film Additives Animal-Free Additive Solutions for Flexible Food Packaging with Extensive Food Contact Approvals 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. Converters and brand owners working with flexible film products are seeking extended food contact compliance for their packaging options, as this gives them the potential to increase their global market reach and share. Current packaging trends also place sustainability front and center.

VALUE SOLUTION Traditionally light blocking was achieved with use of multilayer HDPE and PET packaging. Both paperboard and multilayer polymers restrict design freedom, so that the packaging is often less than ergonomic. To increase the user friendly aspects of UHT dairy packaging, ColorMatrix Lactra SX Light Blocking Additive expands design freedom by allowing designers to use a single PET layer bottle to create the same visible light blocking as paperboard and multilayer HDPE and PET packaging.

Both paperboard and multilayer polymers restrict design freedom, so the final packaging is often less than ergonomic. To increase the user-friendly aspects of UHT dairy packaging, ColorMatrix Lactra LX Light Blocking Additive expands design freedom by allowing designers to use a single PET layer bottle to create the same visible light blocking as paperboard and multilayer HDPE and PET packaging. MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS Dairy packaging, including UHT liquid dairy products

Support hygiene concept: Packaging with anti-fog plus additives help to limit the growth of bacteria and fungi and reduce waste by prolonging the shelf life of food, maintaining its freshness in the packaging. Increase brand image: Anti-fog plus additives enhance the appeal and attractiveness of food packaging. They reinforce packaging integrity by maintaining a film’s sealing properties, avoiding delamination of the film structure, and maintaining transparency.
