Ball Licenses Plastics Oxygen Barrier Technology to INVISTA

Ball Corporation grants a license under its oxygen scavenger patents to INVISTA, a leader in PET barrier packaging and producer of PolyShield plastics barrier resins.

PolyShield* plastics resins are modified PET copolymers that provide active oxygen barrier, carbonation retention and clarity in colored monolayer containers when blended with up to five percent MXD6 at the preform injection machine. Plastics containers made from PolyShield resin/MXD6 blends have been shown to effectively and reliably protect oxygen sensitive foods such as beer, wine and juice in commercial applications around the world.
