Polyethylene UltraGuard™ Solutions enabling more recyclable, mono-material packaging by improving PE barrier properties

Milliken’s line of tailored masterbatches called UltraGuard^™ Solutions helps to address the recyclability challenge of many current multilayer flexible packaging constructions. By significantly enhancing the barrier properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), UltraGuard helps to enable the use of more mono-material structures, with reduced use of materials that have an adverse impact on the film’s recyclability.

This improved barrier performance also serves to increase a product’s shelf life.
