required to homogenise the finished product and reach required final properties. This can be achieved by using Lotryl copolymers, Lotader reactive resins and Orevac grafted polyolefins. Sukano has launched a newly formulated


transparent impact modifier for cold, flash frozen and room temperature applications under the Sukano rPET product portfolio. The company says that the new impact modifier masterbatch can allow replacement of specialised co-polyester resins with modified recycled or virgin PET resin, permitting the end application to be mono-materi- al and recyclable. “With our newly formulated Sukano impact modifier portfolio, customers have a recyclable alternative at hand to replace products made of copolyester or GAG film structures, for instance, while enjoying the benefits that go beyond mechanical properties modification,” says Alessan- dra Funcia, Head of Marketing at Sukano and Chair of the Working Group Functional and Opaque PET packaging at PETCore. The company adds that the impact modifier


offers improved durability and toughness, en- hanced impact resistance, higher rPET content and


shatter resistance, without a loss in transparency. It also provides safe packaging for consumers by reducing sharp edges and leads to fewer shards, avoiding contamination. This helps improve productivity and yields by avoiding line interrup- tions and generating more high-quality parts. The masterbatches provide additional functionality as a cutting aid, improving die cutting in production, speeding up lines and avoiding any cross-contami- nation through splinters.
