The TiO₂-free collection offers a refined, pearlescent look intended for use in hair care, personal care, and beauty products.
HyperLustre is compatible with PET in both blow-moulding and injection-stretch blow-moulding processes. Ampacet says the colourants provide a distinctive appearance without traditional effect pigments, supporting efficient production for beauty and personal-care applications.
