DCU concentrates are part of the Novapet dairy resins family, and pro- vide suitable performance for those packaging projects requiring higher flexibility. (Fig. 6 shows DCU light bar- rier performance)According to Nova- pet DCU concentrates feature ease of processing combined with perfect pigment dispersion, and offer the fol- lowing significant benefits:  Full range of light barrier properties (up to 100%), whatever the pig- ment content  Cost-effective for every light barrier requirement  Lightweighting for the same pre- form geometry (up to 5% weight saving).  Whiter colour, less pigment content  Flexibility to use standard PET from any logistic advantages (optimisa- tion of transport, custom duties and import regulations and expenses). Fig 7 shows the injection-process scheme for ‘Dairy’ and DCU. Taking into consideration all the above advantages of the material, Novapet claims PET is the natural match to meet the market dynamics of the liquid milk sector that features a high level of innovation. Fast changing consumer preferences are creating a segmented market which offers signifi- cant potential for PET packaging. www.novapet.es Based on an article by Miguel A.
