COLORMATRIX™ rePrize™ Liquid dispersion chain extender for PET monolayer, multilayer and foamed sheet ColorMatrix™ rePrize™ is a PET and PC compatible formulated liquid dispersion chain extender.
Added to the feed throat and designed to increase the polymer chain length via reactive extrusion, rePrize enables an increase in both the polymer intrinsic and melt viscosity. rePrize can be used to replace virgin PET in PET sheet, when virgin PET is used in combination with PCR flake or regrind, to increase the IV.
This results in an increase in both the polymer intrinsic and melt viscosity. rePrize is suited to applications in: • PET monolayer sheet • PET multilayered sheet • PET foamed sheet rePrize can be used to optimise sheet manufacturing processes and product quality, whilst allowing for increased levels of recycle, contributing towards improved sustainability and reduced costs PRODUCT DESCRIPTION GLOBAL REGULATORY APPROVALS PRODUCT FDA EU GB MERCOSUR rePrize • • • • 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.
