Infrared-absorbing Reheat Additive for PET Preform Blowing Polymer Additives Our cutting-edge polymer additives can add function, performance, even profitability

ColorMatrix AAzure is a patented liquid formulation additive designed for addition to PET preforms, enabling higher levels of rPET use.  It reduces carbon emissions while also reducing preform AA, which helps to minimize the risk of off-taste in bottle contents. For PET and rPET preforms in food and beverage packaging

Although these process aids do not directly benefit preform manufacturers, who produce the initial plastic preforms, the advantages are realized at the bottle blower stage, where the preforms are heated and blown into their final bottle shapes. Reduce energy to the blowing lamps allowing preforms to heat faster b. Why Brands and Preform Manufacturers May Hesitate

Plate-out’ (deposits on the surface of an injection mold) is a common problem when using additives during injection molding of preforms. When additives are not specifically designed for use in PET, they can migrate from the polymer matrix and form tiny deposits. This can lead to inferior preform quality and increased downtime.

Commercial case studies have demonstrated that ColorMatrix AAnchor effectively reduces acetaldehyde levels in PET preforms, meeting customer specifications for low acetaldehyde content. For PET and rPET preforms in food and beverage packaging ColorMatrix™ AAzure™ reduces carbon emissions while also reducing preform AA, which helps to minimize the risk of off-taste in bottle contents.

It is a patented liquid formulation that can reduce AA by up to 80 percent in the preform, helping to counter off-taste in bottled contents. One final benefit is a reduction in the energy required to heat preforms, which fosters roughly 25 percent lower carbon emissions.
