Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for colouring a polymeric film and to a coloured polymeric film. Furthermore, the invention relates to a master colour batch obtainable by said method, a use of said master colour batch, rigid packaging, and an injected moulded product, such as a bottle.
- Plastic articles are useful for a wide variety of applications. Furthermore, the recycling of coloured plastic articles is even more important than ever before, as the volume of plastics discarded has proliferated in the last few decades. There is a great demand for more and more complex materials to satisfy the different aspects of the packaging industry.
- Plastics are for example used extensively for beverage bottles, including bottles for carbonated soft drinks and other liquids. Many of the articles used in this way are coloured by various types of pigments or colorants to enhance their appearance or to protect the contents of the bottle from ultraviolet radiation.
- An objective of the present invention is to provide a method for sustainably colouring a plastic in which the abovementioned problem does not occur or at least to a lesser extent.
- a polymeric film comprising a polymeric backbone layer and one or more polymeric layers arranged on the polymeric backbone layer, each of the one or more polymeric layers having a respective glass transition temperature, wherein the one or more polymeric layers that are arranged on a same side of the polymeric backbone layer are arranged in an order of decreasing glass transition temperature starting from said same side, the glass transition temperature of each of said one or more polymeric layers being lower than that of the polymeric backbone layer;
- the glass transition temperature may be determined using NEN-EN-ISO 6721-11:2019 and/or ASTM E1640-18 EN 2018 and/or ASTM D6604-00 EN 2017.
- the glass transition temperature of the polymeric film decreases from the inside to the outside.
