High-Flowability PBT for Single-Layer Molded Coffee Capsules and Cosmetics Packaging
BASF’s Ultradur B1520 FC and Ultradur Barrier B1520FC LM boasts high barrier and low migration.
High-flowability PBT resins specially developed for injection-molded thin-walled packaging for cosmetics and food products, including single-layer coffee capsules have been launched by BASF. The company’s Ultradur B1520 FC R01 portfolio now includes Ultradur B1520 FC LM and Ultradur Barrier B1520 FC LM. The former reportedly ensures a low migration and therefore the lowest flavor interaction between the capsule and the coffee inside.
Ultradur Barrier B1520 FC LM also provides low migration but has a further improved barrier function. After a whole year, the O2 concentration inside the capsule is only at a maximum of 0.1 %. This is accompanied by the advantage of secondary packaging becoming redundant. With its Ultrasim design, BASF offers a calculation service which makes it possible to reduce the capsule weight without losing functionality.
