Matte Finish for PET and rPET Molding and Extrusion Applications
Ampacet’s new Modern Matte masterbatches are designed for mono, multilayer extrusion and in standard as well as heavy-wall molding applications.
A new family of color masterbatches said to create a high-impact luxurious finish for PET and rPET blow and injection molded applications and sheet products without the need for spraying, dipping, bead blasting or retooling, is newly available from Ampacet. Designed for use in mono, multilayer extrusion and in standard as well as heavy-wall molding applications, they are said to be ideal for applications such as personal care, cosmetics, beverages, spirits, automotive, industrial, and home care products, with custom color matching available upon request.
Modern Matte masterbatches are said to also eliminate scrap and waste resulting from traditional secondary processes and are available in three finish and texture options: Clara, a subtle delustering effect with a smooth finish; Textura, which combines a luxurious matte finish with a textured surface; and Prima, designed for increased tactility and enhanced scuff resistance at high LDRs.
