Ultimate UV390 absorbers offer a cost-effective light barrier solution for protecting UV sensitive products packaged in PET. Where container lightweighting is important, it can be particularly effective in maintaining product protection. A cost-effective, easy to use solution As a liquid dispersion, a high level of dosing accuracy can be achieved with Ultimate UV390 making it a highly cost-effective solution. As it is dosed directly into the machine, it is also easy to process and control with excellent shot to shot consistency and eliminates mold plate-out which can lead to downtime issues. Good clarity and recyclability Ultimate UV390 dosing is highly consistent offering excellent part clarity with a superior aesthetic. It has no negative impact on recyclability, physical performance characteristics or color of the recycled material.
