To do so the following procedure was carried out:
• Preforms were produced by dosing 0.09% of
Avient Fortis Amber-1 and 4% of our nylon-
based oxygen scavenger Amosorb SolO2-2
• Preforms were ground down to a coarse granule
size (~2mm) using a Retsch mill
• The coarse ground preforms were crystallized
in a vacuum oven at 160°C before drying the
material in a PET drier at 160°C for approx. 4
hours
• This material was then injection molded and
blown into bottles with a) 50:50 dilution with
Virgin PET with no color and b) 50:50 dilution
with Virgin PET + Fortis Amber-1 at 0.045%
Figure 2.
Bottle B was produced utilizing 50% flakes of the
original bottles, which were crystallized and dried
before being diluted with 50% virgin PET to inject new
preforms and blow bottles.
