On the one hand, SenzAA acetaldehyde reducers act to avoid the unpleasant off-taste of waters bottled in PET. The reduction perfor- mance goes up to nearly 85% allowing measur- ing a AA value of less than 1ppm. On the other hand Repi UV Absorbers create a barrier to the harmful UV-rays and visible light, which when passing through bottles and jars wall, can damage the product inside. Like the others, also this additive is liquid, and here, too, the dosage, from 0.1% to 0.2%, is significantly lower, than for its solid masterbatch alternatives, while obtaining equal or better final results. It is used especially for transparent preforms meant for sensitive liquids like vitaminic waters, juices and sauces in the food industry as well as for fabric conditioners, detergents and household products. The world of packaging is under unceas- ing innovation from each point of view and we as colorants and additives producers are proud to play a leading role and to be involved in this virtuous process, offering smart solutions where nature and production processes do not come yet. www.repi.com METPACK, 2/6.05.2017 – #1E12 / #1E16 | Essen GERMANY INTERPACK, 4/16.05.2017 - #4G20 | Duesseldorf GERMANY CHINAPLAS, 16/19.05.2017 - #C41 HALL4.1 | Guangzhou CHINA IRAN FOOD + BEV TEC, 23/26.05.2017 - HALL 38B | Tehran IRAN PROPAK ASIA, 14/17.06.2017 | Bangkok THAILAND EXPO PACK MEXICO, 13/15.06.2017 | Guadalajara MEXICO FISPAL TECNOLOGIA, 27/30.06.2017 | Sao Paolo BRASIL With Sacmi, the beverage specialists are always at your side.
