These innovative infrared-absorbing additives are added to PET resin at the reactor stage to provide an eco boost during the blowing of container preforms. Best practices relating to blowing of preforms containing ColorMatrix™ Joule™ Reheat Additives

Simplifies food packaging operations by reducing the coefficient of friction on thermoformed containers, facilitating easy separation during manufacturing and filling. Reducing the surface friction of PET gains process efficiency and prevents damage to containers

For example, the vulcanization, or curing, step requires chemicals such as sulfur and zinc as cross-linking agents.

Beyond these, one clear impact of the pandemic has been on the packaging industry, where vastly increased e-commerce and the focus on hygiene has shown, for example, PET bottles and containers to be an ideal solution to shifting consumer and regulatory trends.   Additionally, new minimum recycled content thresholds will mean that from 2025 there will be a sales ban on PET bottles containing less than 25% recycled plastics, increasing to 30% in 2030. For example, part of the ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ range, Amosorb 4020R is an oxygen scavenger technology that helps maintain full oxygen scavenging functionality, even in bottles containing up to 100% recycled content.

Avient offers GLS TPE cap liner formulations that are suitable for aqueous, acidic and low alcohol beverages processed under ambient, pasteurized or hot fill conditions.
