UV Blocker for Clear Film Packaging
NPE2024: Tosaf’s UV9389PE EU boasts high-blocking effect in the wavelength of 200 nm to 389 nm.
A newly developed UV barrier solution is said to ensure that clear packaging films offer a high blocking effect against UV radiation in the wavelength range from 200 nm to 380 nm, even at low thickness. Developed by Israel’s , UV9389PE EU additive masterbatch is said to efficiently protect foods from discoloration, and vitamin and flavor loss as a result of the degrading effects of artificial light to which they are exposed during storage, shipping and on the shelf. As such, the new UV blocker contributes to the prevention of food waste due to premature spoilage.
Unlike conventional mineral-based products of this type, the optical properties and, in particular, the transparency of films finished with UV9389PE EU are almost completely retained. Further advantages are the high efficiency even at very low dosages as well as the minimal influences on the behavior during production and further processing of the films, including printing and lamination. The range of applications extends beyond foodstuffs to other industrial film applications where the protection of sensitive goods from UV radiation is required.
