In automated systems, pipette tips are often
made of conductive polymer materials, enabling
the tip to sense the liquid and accurately measure
the correct amount of liquid being transferred.
This
ensures accurate liquid level readings and prevent
static discharge.
Excellent hydrophobic properties allow complete
liquid dispensing and help prevent contamination.

CONTENT
Benefits of using rePrize include:
• Increased product target IV
• Improved melt flow consistency
• Increased recycle content
• Reduced rejects and scrap
• Improved low temperature performance
rePrize can be combined with other liquid
additives and can be used to optimize sheet
manufacturing processes and product quality,
whilst allowing for increased levels of recycle,
contributing towards improved sustainability
and reduced costs.

Traditionally, UHT liquid dairy products have
been packaged in laminated paperboard cartons,
pouches, or multilayer high-density polyethylene
(HDPE) and PET bottles.
As a result,
light-induced oxidation is minimized and properties
and taste are preserved, even at the lengthy ambient
shelf life common with UHT liquid dairy products.

products
