Improved blending provides better UV protection for cosmetic packaging

04-Nov-05

Effects of sunlight exposure to cosmetic and toiletry packaging have been known for years. Leaving a product out in sunlight for even a short period affects the efficacy or triggers an equally harmful effect on the formulation's volatility. An improved blending provides better UV protection for a variety of cosmetic and toiletry products from sunlight damage. This blend helps to isolate different wave lengths of light, providing protection that is good for up to 390 nanometers. Polyone has launched an updated blend to give improved protection for any type of SAN, ABS, PET or polyethylene packaging, adding barely 5 cents to every piece of packaging. The technology provides protection of any pigments or ingredients, such as vitamins or special cosmetic additives, inside the bottle itself.
