By using the new masterbatches from PolyOne, product designers gain design options. At the same time, production processes become leaner. (Image: PolyOne)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe masterbatches developed by PolyOne were tested at Sauer with both new and recycled PET material. At the same time, Sauer worked with the end customer to develop the Packaging design<\/strong>. The designers placed particular emphasis on the matt effect, which was intended to give the packaging an elegant appearance and attract the customer's attention. Finally, Sauer integrated the innovative masterbatches into its production processes for plastic bottles. A product sample was created for the end customer, which was ultimately well received and went into series production.<\/p>\nAlexander Umlauf-Sauer, Sales Manager at Sauer Polymertechnik, is pleased that the integration of the masterbatches into Sauer's production processes went just as smoothly as PolyOne had announced. The new range has also been well received by customers. The stable order figures and the favourable reactions are proof of this.<\/p>\n
Easy to process<\/h2>\n
Sauer Polymertechnik's experience is now shared by other PolyOne customers. As the US supplier reports, the SmartBatch Frost masterbatches simplify the production of plastic packaging with a Retro effect<\/strong> frosted, translucent glass. Among other things, cost-intensive secondary glazing is saved. Manufacturing processes<\/strong> such as coating, spraying or wrapping the bottles with sleeves.<\/p>\n\u201eThe SmartBatch Frost masterbatches are easy to process because we don't have to mix them with other colourants and additives. This has significantly reduced our warehousing costs.\u201c
\nAlexander Umlauf-Sauer<\/strong>, Sales Manager at Sauer Polymertechnik<\/p><\/blockquote>\nDesigners also enjoy significantly more design freedom. For example, textured surfaces can be produced easily without having to change the mould. The masterbatches are suitable for the production of drinks and water bottles as well as packaging for hair, skin and body care products.<\/p>\n
A masterbatch for recycled and new PET<\/h2>\n
The new masterbatches can be processed on the same machines as conventional masterbatches. PET materials<\/strong> can be processed. PolyOne supplies its products as granules or in liquid form, depending on customer requirements.<\/p>\nThe sustainability of plastic packaging is becoming increasingly important for manufacturers, retailers and consumers. PolyOne has also made provisions for this. The SmartBatch Frost masterbatches can also be used with rPET, as well as with new plastic material. With recycled PET, toner may need to be added in order to optimise the Colour shades<\/strong> of the masterbatch and the recyclate. In addition, the use of PolyOne masterbatches does not affect the Recyclability<\/strong> and the original material properties of the products manufactured with it.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/www.polyone.com<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The colour and additive masterbatches of the \u201eSmartBatch Frost Collection\u201c from PolyOne in the USA expand the design possibilities for plastic packaging.
