Colormatrix launches advanced barrier technology at Drinktec 2009

ColorMatrix launches Amosorb SolO2, a high performance PET barrier technology, at Drinktec 2009.

This new technology ensures extended product protection and longer shelf-life in oxygen-sensitive beverages, particularly beers, wines and juices.

Amosorb SolO2 is the latest addition to ColorMatrix's Amosorb range of O2 scavengers.

It combines oxygen scavenging with barrier properties, providing essential protection from O2 ingress, CO2 loss and potential product degradation.

Colour is added easily for brand owners and converters to perfect the aesthetics of their products.

Specifically developed for oxygen-sensitive beverages, where empty bottle storage may be required, Amosorb SolO2 can delay CO2 egress by up to 30 days and protect from O2 ingress for up to four months longer than PET with standard Amosorb.

Amosorb SolO2 can be used with any type of PET resin and is suitable for both mono-layer and multi-layer PET containers.
