Engineered Additives That Meet Dairy Shelf-Life Demands

Block harmful light at the source with proven opacity technologies that keep milk tasting fresh and packaging lines running efficiently.

Light exposure degrades riboflavin and lipids, creating off-flavors and odors in milk. Americhem’s light blocking masterbatch protects against this breakdown and helps dairies meet strict performance requirements for extended shelf life.

Capabilities include:

  • Proven protection for UHT (6–9 month) and ESL (30–60 day) milk packaging
  • Opacity solutions for monolayer and multilayer bottles
  • Regulatory alignment with FDA, REACH, and Pharma standards
  • Options for rPET, NRID Blacks for optical sorting, and 2nd generation opacity technology
