APPE’S BARRIER DEVELOPMENTS FOR PET CONTAINERS


Author: Jesús Cano Santacruz Company: APPE Iberia S.A

Abstract:

Barrier additives contribute to protect and extend the life of packaged products. Analyzing PET, phenomenas as O2 Ingress, CO2 loss and light ingress in the container, could be reduced with the use of these additives through monolayer or multilayer systems.

Products like carbonated drinks, juices (ambient distribution), wine, beer or UHT milk are analyzed to evaluate their requirements and determine the type of barrier solutions that could be applied.
