Protection from
Ultra Violet and Visible Light

8. 02 06.2011 8
UV Absorbers: keeps up with market trends
 Trend to transparent packaging
Increased products exposure to
UV and Visible light
–Little to no UV filtering
–Limited and random protection
from visible light
 Need for protection against UV and/or Visible light

9. 02 06.2011 9
Light - the enemy
 An issue for many products categories
 Causes undesirable changes of the packaged products
 in appearance, color
 in flavor or odor
 in nutritional value
 Compromises the aspect and the quality of the
packaged products
 Affects negatively the brand image
 Limits ingredient/product/package development choices
 Shortens the product shelf-life

Light protection needs – some examples
 Beer
 Avoid Sunstruck flavor induced by light up to 500 nm
 Milk
 Protection need from 300 nm up to 520 nm
– Vitamin A, B1,2,6,12 ,C, D, E
– Light oxidized off-flavor
 Juices- Vitamins sensitive to UV and/or visible Light
 Sliced meat- UV light sensitive
 Detergents & Shampoos- Discoloration due to UV light
 Others- Pharmaceutical / Food / Cosmetics

during PP tape production
0.4% Uvinul® 5050 H
0.4% state of art HALS
Extrusion speed: 22 m/min. Extrusion speed: 31 m/min.
 Better water-carry-over for Uvinul® 5050 H enable up to 30% faster
production

20. 02 06.2011 20
Uvinul 5050H - heat Sealing benefits
Heat sealing property of 40 µm LDPE/EVA:
after 45 days storage at room temperature
 Excellent heat sealing properties with Uvinul® 5050 H even at high
loading

21.  Consumers prefer transparent packaging for many goods
 You see what you buy
 You see the filling/ Content level
 Transparency support a message of freshness and cleanliness
02 06.2011 21
 Relevant for transparent polymers like
 PP Polypropylene
 PET Polyethylene terephthalate
 PC Polycarbonate
 Coloration possible by keeping transparency
 Transparent Pigments
 Polymer soluble dyes
Why transparency?

22. 02 06.2011 22
Transparency & Clarity in Polypropylene
 Use of clarifying agents
 BASF Irgaclear® DM
 BASF Irgaclear® XT 386
 Use of a special selection of
transparent pigments within the
