Tosaf, a leader in innovative packaging solutions, has developed a groundbreaking UV barrier additive that protects packed food from degradation by UV radiation. The additive, named UV9389PE EU, offers a high blocking effect against UV radiation in the wavelength range from 200 nm to 380 nm, ensuring optimal protection for clear packaging films.
With the introduction of UV9389PE EU, Tosaf addresses a critical issue faced by the food industry – the premature spoilage of products due to exposure to artificial light during storage, shipping, and on store shelves. This innovative solution efficiently prevents discolouration, vitamin and flavour loss, significantly reducing food wastage.
What sets Tosaf’s UV blocker apart is its ability to maintain the optical properties and transparency of packaging films, unlike conventional mineral-based products. This ensures that the appearance and quality of the packaged food remain uncompromised.
Another advantage of UV9389PE EU is its high efficiency even at low dosages, minimizing production and processing disruptions. The additive seamlessly integrates into various film manufacturing processes, including printing and lamination, making it highly versatile for a range of applications beyond food packaging.
Tosaf has built a reputation for its comprehensive portfolio of stabiliser masterbatches, and UV9389PE EU is the latest addition to its offerings. These masterbatches are used in various industries, including agriculture, stretch and shrink packaging, industrial packaging, and more.
Aside from UV blockers, Tosaf’s portfolio includes a range of other additives aimed at enhancing sustainability. These additives, such as antioxidants, moisture and odour absorbers, flow improvers, and chain extenders, contribute to maximizing product lifespan and reducing environmental impact.
Since its establishment in 1986 by CEO Amos Megides, Tosaf has remained at the forefront of packaging innovation. The company’s major shareholders include Megides Holdings Ltd. and the Ravago Group, confirming their commitment to advancing sustainable and effective packaging solutions.
