Oxygen-scavenging containers

摘要

A container providing effective oxygen-scavenging functionality, while having high L* color or low darkness. The container has at least one wall, wherein the wall comprises a populated area, and wherein the populated area comprises a film-forming polymer; and a population of particles comprising an effective amount of oxygen-scavenging particles, wherein the number of oxygen scavenging particles does not exceed a concentration of about (1x107 particles/T) per cubic centimeter of polymer wherein T is the thickness of the populated area in mils; and wherein the change in the transmission Hunter L* of said wall is less than about 0.4 per mil of the container wall when compared to a control that does not contain oxygen-scavenging particles.
