PRODUCT BULLETIN
ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ 4020R
High rPET Content Oxygen Scavenging Additive
Part of the ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ range, Amosorb
4020R is an oxygen scavenger booster specifically
formulated for use with recycled PET (rPET).
The solution delivers full oxygen scavenging
performance with up to 100% rPET content.
Brand owners would like to ensure the
oxygen scavengers used in their PET bottles
maintain their oxygen scavenging efficacy with
the introduction of increasing levels of rPET.

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.
Brand owners need to ensure the oxygen
scavengers used in their PET bottles maintain their
oxygen scavenging efficacy with the introduction
of increasing levels of rPET.
Our testing shows that
ColorMatrix Amosorb 4020G is one of the most
robust oxygen scavengers for PET rigid containers,
with negligible effect on oxygen scavenging efficacy
for the rPET grade tested, while other competitive
materials lost almost all efficacy with rPET content
as low as 20%.

The additive is designed for use with recycled
PET (rPET) and delivers full oxygen scavenging
performance with up to 100% rPET content.
Brand owners and convertors alike face the
challange of ensuring that the oxygen scavengers
they use in their PET bottles maintain efficacy
with the introduction of increasing levels of rPET.
Amosorb 4020L offers an effective balance between
bottle aesthetics, improved recyclability, and shelf
life demands, by offering a cost-effective solution
with reliable oxygen scavenging performance and
rPET compatibility.

OXYGEN SCAVENGERS
Challenge: Oxygen can permeate PET bottles, reducing
a product’s shelf life.
Reduce the risk of content
degradation by incorporating oxygen barrier solutions.
ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ - Creates an active barrier against
oxygen ingress to extend product protection and shelf life.
