Avient Corporation, a distributor of materials solutions, announced the launch of ColorMatrix Lactra ESL, an additive solution formulated for the extended shelf-life (ESL) dairy market. This light-blocking additive offers a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional solutions, providing enhanced protection compared to standard master batch solutions for ESL dairy protection.

The global ESL dairy market is experiencing significant growth, and Avient's Lactra ESL is poised to meet the evolving needs of this dynamic industry. With its low titanium dioxide (TiO₂) levels, Lactra ESL can support sustainability goals by reducing inorganic content in packaging without compromising light-blocking performance while also extending the shelf life of dairy products to help prevent food spoilage. Compared to Avient’s existing Lactra grades, this innovative solution allows for brighter whiteness and more tailored light-blocking performance for the ESL dairy market, making it an excellent choice for brands seeking to improve their product offerings.

Lactra ESL is versatile, catering to a range of dairy packaging applications that require mid-range light protection, and is useful for products with shelf-life requirements of up to three months. It offers a balanced solution between standard white pigment and full light-blocking additives, providing tailored protection.

Avient's commitment to sustainability and innovation is further demonstrated through Lactra ESL's potential for bottle lightweighting, which can reduce transportation costs and lower CO₂ emissions. This solution was developed as a plug-and-go option compatible with standard PET extrusion lines, making it easy for manufacturers to integrate it into their existing production processes.

As the ESL dairy market expands, Avient's ColorMatrix Lactra ESL light-blocking additive solution stands out as a more sustainable choice for brands looking to enhance their product quality and extend their market reach.
