ColorMatrix unveils oxygen scavenger for PET packaging
The subsidiary of PolyOne Corporation unveiled Amosorb Plus and said it does not require additional regulatory approval as it is based on a previously approved technology.
Amosorb Plus is a crystallized PET-based concentrate with a built-in catalyst to promote oxidation. It offers product protection for non-carbonated foods and beverages for up to six months or longer, depending on the container design.
Steve Chai, managing director for Asia Pacific, ColorMatrix, said the scavenger offers improved aesthetics, optical clarity and reduced haze for recyclability.
“It helps improve container clarity, a growing requirement for products like teas and fresh fruit juices, while maximizing recyclability with reduced haze characteristics that are in line with global requirements for sustainable packaging solutions.”
