Tosaf, a leading provider of packaging solutions, has developed a cutting-edge barrier solution called UV9389PE EU. This innovative product ensures that clear packaging films offer a high level of protection against harmful UV radiation in the wavelength range from 200 nm to 380 nm, even when used in thin layers. By effectively blocking UV rays, this additive safeguards the quality and freshness of food products, preventing discolouration, vitamin loss, and flavour degradation caused by exposure to artificial light during storage, shipping, and display. Ultimately, Tosaf’s UV blocker contributes significantly to reducing food wastage due to premature spoilage.
Unlike traditional mineral-based alternatives, films treated with UV9389PE EU retain their optical properties and transparency to a remarkable extent. Additionally, this advanced solution offers several other advantages, including high efficiency even at low dosages and minimal impact on film production and processing, including printing and lamination. The applications for this UV blocker extend beyond food packaging to various industrial film sectors where protection against UV radiation is critical.
Tosaf’s UV blocker, UV9389PE EU, is just one component of their extensive range of stabiliser masterbatches designed to enhance UV resistance. This comprehensive portfolio caters to diverse needs, such as agricultural films, stretch, shrink, and industrial packaging, big bags (FIBC), as well as injection moulded parts, extruded pipes and sheets, fibres and nonwovens, roofing membranes, and more.
In addition to UV blockers, Tosaf offers a wide range of other additives that contribute to greater sustainability in packaging. These include antioxidants, moisture and odour absorbers, flow improvers, and chain extenders.
