Bormioli Luigi Premiers Two New Anti-UV Solutions

Bormioli Luigi has introduced two solutions to give bottles and containers UV protection without affecting appearance: a colorless lacquering process and a filtering system introduced directly into the glass recipe.

The Italian supplier says both technologies are a response to the need to tackle the problem of the instability of perfumes and creams when exposed to light. These problems are increasingly frequent as a result of the growing presence on the market of products formulated with natural substances, which generally causes a change in color (yellowing) or smell.

The colorless, anti-UV lacquer, which contains pigments able to filter the light, is an initial “ready-to-go” solution developed to tackle these problems—and is currently available.

The project for an anti-UV filtering system incorporated into the glass recipe is currently being developed, and will create a barrier effect in the material without adding any further layers, with advantages in terms of appearance and, in particular, color. The presence of this innovative UV filter is also compatible with items that require the use of PCR; There are no limits to decoration and it can be recycled without specific conditions.
