Class VI certified option with Stan-Tone HC Plus HCR

It also could be sterilized by ethylene oxide and gamma radiation, and it offered USP Class VI and RoHS compliance to accelerate approvals and time to market.

VALUE SOLUTION Traditionally light blocking was achieved with use of multilayer HDPE and PET packaging. Traditionally, UHT liquid dairy products have been packaged in laminated paperboard cartons, pouches, or multilayer high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. To increase the user friendly aspects of UHT dairy packaging, ColorMatrix Lactra SX Light Blocking Additive expands design freedom by allowing designers to use a single PET layer bottle to create the same visible light blocking as paperboard and multilayer HDPE and PET packaging.
