INJECTION PRESSURE
The injection pressure must be set high enough to
obtain a high injection rate (Figure 3).
Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents can be used
in low pressure and high pressure processes.
The high pressure process leads to larger and
stretched cells with higher density reductions.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-06/fl.us-.datasheet-carbon-fiber.pdf
Carbon fiber production took off during the 1960’s but
the high price of the material limited its initial usage.
The precursor undergoes several processes including
carbonization and oxidation which produces high tensile & modulus carbon fiber
filaments.
For over 25 years, FIBER-LINE® has provided science-
driven expertise that improves the performance and
the end-use processing of high performance fibers.

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.
Traditionally, UHT liquid dairy products have
been packaged in laminated paperboard cartons,
pouches, or multilayer high density polyethylene
(HDPE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
bottles.
