Both UV390 and UV390R technologies can be particularly effective in working towards lighter, more recyclable packaging, alongside potential productivity benefits and maintaining product protection.
In some situations the Ultimate UV range can vastly improve both the processing and mechanical properties of packaging incorporating recycled material.
UV light can cause reactions in UV sensitive food and beverages that result in changes in taste, odor and texture, as well as degrading colored dyes and pigments in plastic packaging.
