Colorants for HDPE Allow for PET Gloss Levels
Ampacet’s Waterscapes collection for any multi-layer HDPE packaging captures the ephemeral beauty of water
A collection of colorants designed for all markets using multi-layer HDPE packaging has been developed by Ampacet. The Waterscapes Collection evokes the growing scarcity of clean water and other natural resources, issues that will continue to dominate news and political conversation throughout the coming decade. In leveraging these colors, the most ephemeral qualities of water are harnessed by using a mixture of matte and gloss surfaces on a single object, mimicking the glassy-to-foam transition courses of waves, ripples, waterfalls and melting ice. This new-to-market effect allows PET gloss levels to be achieved in HDPE.
The Waterscapes Collection includes verdant Hydrosphere Green, refreshingly cool Green Harbor and algae-driven Sea-Guard. On the blue side, Ampacet achieves serenity with Glacier Blue and appeal to a deep tranquility with Coastal Blue and Waterways.
