ColorMatrix™ Lactra™ SX Light Blocking Additive
High-performance, visible light blocking technology
for extended shelf life, UHT dairy PET packaging
PRODUCT BULLETIN
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ColorMatrix™ Lactra™ SX Light Blocking Additive
is a solid masterbatch additive that, when added
to PET to make monolayer bottles, provides
high-performance light blocking technology and
protection for liquid dairy contents.
This additive
helps PET packaging to protect longer shelf life
products, especially ultra-high temperature (UHT)
liquid dairy products, from visible-light induced
oxidation due to ambient storage conditions.
Superior to capital-intensive multilayer preforms,
the light blocking additive can easily be added
to PET using a single-stage process for monolayer
bottles, resulting in lower machinery costs and no
loss in light blocking performance.

MagIQ™ Nonwoven Electret Additives for High-efficiency
Particulate Air (HEPA) Filters
The nonwoven electret additives are necessary
for the manufacture of polypropylene meltblown
nonwoven, used to make fresh air system filters with
long-lasting filtration properties.
This requires the addition of a specific additive
to the masterbatch prior to the meltblown stage,
followed by a process known as hydro electret
charging.
By introducing additives with charge storage
properties, “charge traps” are created.

If a spring
fails due to fatigue, the effect on the conveyor can be
devastating – leading to a cascading failure of additional
springs as they take on increased, unintended loads.
THE IMPACT
Not only did the Gordon Composites vibratory springs
outperform the company’s originally specified spring
components, they provided a number of additional
benefits:
Ready-to-install springs reduced labor and
simplified installation
Unlike alternative springs, Gordon Composites springs
are factory machined to the required size and pre-
drilled for a significant reduction in cutting and drilling
processes and allowing valuable labor time to be
allocated elsewhere.

This often causes additional damage to
the motor’s lower unit, costing up to several thousand
dollars to repair.
The addition of a toughening agent to the long fiber
composite provided improved vibration damping,
according to Stahl.

Smartbatch™ Fabric FX
Color and Additives Enhance Perceived Value with Look of Fabric
Smartbatch™ Fabric FX color and additive
concentrates from Avient are a hassle-free means
for manufacturers to turn plain, smooth polymer
surfaces into those that mimic the soft appearance
of textile.

In addition, the MIC process
avoids VOC emissions associated with painting.
Smartbatch™ FX for Paint Replacement is a
combination of color and additive concentrates
that help manufacturers replace paint and
meet performance requirements for a variety
of applications.
