TECHNICAL BULLETIN
ColorMatrix™ Joule™ Reheat Additive
Proprietary IR Absorber
ColorMatrix™ Joule™ reheat additive is a proprietary
IR absorber manufactured and marketed by
ColorMatrix worldwide for use in PET resin
formulations suitable for carbonated soft drinks
and beverage applications.
In order to deliver the best blow molding
performance, it is customary within the
conversion industry to establish ‘recipe’ guidelines
per resin/per supplier as different PET resin
production technologies and different specific
resin formulations can significantly influence
the blow molding performance.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2025-04/ColorMatrix_ Amosorb_ 4020L_CN.pdf
此添加剂可应用于回收PET (rPET),
并能够在高达100% rPET含量下实现完全吸氧。
品牌商和加工商都需要确保在使用更高含量的rPET
时,应用于PET瓶中的吸氧剂依旧能保持效力。
目标市场及应用
应用于食品饮料行业的PET和rPET硬质包装。

For the materials tested, a variety of flame-retardant (FR) polycarbonate (PC) alloys, including blends with
acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT),
were benchmarked against FR copolyester and the chemically resistant (CR) aliphatic polyketone (PK) blends
of the Trilliant HC8900 and Edgetek ET8900 series.
It can be
seen that the PC/ABS and
PC/PET samples failed to
survive the disinfectant
exposure and produce a
testable sample.
With regards to PC
alloys, the general trend of increasing chemical
resistance was observed in order of PC/ABS <
PC/PET < PC/PBT, which was expected based on
previous research and the marketing literature of
PC blend manufacturers.4 However, the Edgetek
ET8900 series clearly demonstrated the best ESCR
performance against the household cleaners.

TRILLIANT™ HC
ELECTRICALLY
CONDUCTIVE
FORMULATIONS
• Consistent conductivity ensures repeatable
part performance and minimizes failures
related to inconsistent electrical conductivity
• High flow and easy processing facilitate filling
of thin wall parts and multiple cavity tools,
which enable faster cycle times and lower
per-unit part costs
• Superior durability reduces breakage and
resultant scrap related costs
• Less tendency to flash results in improved
appearance and less fluid retention in or on
the tip, thus driving greater accuracy and less
potential for cross-contamination
• High strength produces parts with greater
stiffness and warp resistance, again
minimizing scrap-related costs
• Conductive pipette tips
