There also may be greater than normal post mold shrinkage and a reduction in the ultimate elongation.

UV and Light Blocking Additives | Packaging Effective UV light blocking additive technology optimizes PET container performance to provide greater protection for UV-sensitive beverages. With UV protection, formulators have more flexibility to use UV sensitive ingredients and not rely on the formulation alone to be UV-stable.
