Philadelphia, PA - Container Science, Inc. has added Constar International's Oxbar® oxygen scavenging barrier alternatives to their M-RULE® Container Performance Model. The M-RULE barrier model is a PET industry tool to predict barrier performance of PET and other plastic packages.

Alan Silverman, Constar's Vice President of Marketing and Business Development commented, "The M-RULE system-global material database now includes our Oxbar multilayer scavenger, MonOxbar™ V6 and MonOxbar™ V10. Subscribers to this tool can compare the performance of our barrier and scavenger offerings to the other commercial technologies available for PET packages."
