Coloring
Therefore, they require less color concentrate to achieve a particular color and the colors produced are cleaner (less yellow) than other TPEs.
Liquid colors can be used but the carrier should be a paraffin type mineral.

This kind of layered packaging is common in dairy products because it keeps the liquid inside while keeping bacteria outside.
This additive is particularly suitable in packaging for ultra-high temperature (UHT) liquid dairy products, as these types of products have a longer shelf life, making them more susceptible to light-induced oxidation due to ambient storage conditions.
