The new product grades are reportedly compatible with various colours and deliver a high-end appearance. 

Polybatch Effects FROST masterbatches not only enhance the brand image with their premium aesthetic but also improve the look of recycled PET, making it more appealing, according to the company.  

These grades are designed to be recyclable with NIR sorting compatibility and comply with the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) regulations for food and cosmetic packaging.  

Additionally, the masterbatches present a cost-effective solution as they can be used with existing injection stretch blow moulding processes.
