摘要

Clariant, a focused, innovative and entrepreneurial specialty chemical company, has announced the creation of a new brand of patent protected oxygen scavenger additive master-batches - CESA ProTect. The primary target market for the new additive masterbatch is monolayer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) packaging, although it may also be beneficial for other polyester-based materials. Well known for its ubiquitous use in soft-drink and water bottles. PET has many advantages. Compared to other polymers, it has excellent transparency, is food contact compliant, easy to process and it is the most recycled polymer today.
