ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ 4020G Non-nylon based PET oxygen scavenger with lower haze and less impact on recycle stream ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ 4020G is a non-nylon based next generation oxygen scavenger for PET rigid packaging with a reduction in haze and lower impact on the recycle stream.
ColorMatrix Amosorb 4020G also lowers impact on the PET recycle stream due to a reduction in rPET yellowing.
Compared to previous grades of Amosorb, 4020G halves the b* color shift resulting in lower impact on quality of rPET.

For high impact risks, ERM risk owners are assigned to actively manage the risk.
In the near- and medium-term future, the probability of this risk impacting Avient is low.
In 2022, Avient also modified the approach of Enterprise Risk Management process to include and assess site-level physical climate-related risks assessment at high-value facilities (facilities which may have financial material impact to Avient’s business).

When a metal propeller blade strikes a submersed obstacle with severe impact forces, it can permanently bend or break.
With a Piranha composite propeller, the blades flex and absorb energy from minor impacts.
Avient’s Complēt MT composite materials enable up to 20% more impact resistance than standard long fiber reinforced materials.
