1_INNOPET PLASMAX OPTIMUM PROTECTION OF SENSITIVE PRODUCTS Requirements and Solutions An ideal packaging barrier must be impervious to gases and substances. There must be no exchange either between the filled product and the environment or between the product and the packaging itself. The Plasmax coating applied to the inside of the bottles is therefore used to optimize the barrier characteristics of PET bottles. It enables the known advantages of PET packaging to be also used for sensitive products, and Key Features High-quality and versatile barrier coating for PET bottles. The inside wall of a PET bottle is coated with a wafer-thin, fully transparent glass coating. This barrier of silicon oxide (SiOx) gives the PET bottle the good barrier characteristics of a glass bottle. The Plasmax applies this coating in a process comprised of several steps. Vacuum chambers are loaded with bottles. When a vacuum has been applied, a reaction gas mixture is introduced. This is subsequently brought to the Standard Equipment · InnoPET Plasmax for container sizes of 100 ml to 1,500 ml. · Neck-guided bottle conveying in the machine, few format parts. · Fully automatic machine monitoring and process control for simple operation. · High availability and efficiency in continuous industrial operation. · Plasmax+ process for enhanced flexibility and resistance with all applications where the more · In particular prevents the permeation of carbon dioxide and oxygen through the PET bottle · Thereby increases the shelf life of juices, carbonated beverages, beer and wine as well as liquid and solid foods · Preserves the contents and flavor of the filled product over long periods, even under special climatic conditions. energy-rich plasma state by means of microwaves and a reaction takes place. The silicon oxide produced covers the entire inside of the bottle. In this way, the bottle is covered with a wafer-thin protective glass coating. severely stressed PET material requires this, and is generally used for all products, especially where pH values exceed 4.5. · Product-specific optimization of the coating process to meet all requirements.

OPTIMUM PROTECTION OF SENSITIVE PRODUCTS • Unique: can be used for protecting both oxygen-sensitive and carbonated products. • Food-compatible: the coating is inert, that is to say completely unreactive, and therefore safe • Crystal clear: PET bottles with Plasmax coating (FreshSafe-PET®) are fully transparent and therefore also extremely flexible and attractive from a marketing standpoint. • Sustainable: Plasmax coated PET bottles can be recycled bottle-to-bottle completely such as Plasmax systems are efficient and versatile. Thanks to its excellent process stability, the InnoPET Plasmax achieves...
