O2 Scavengers that actively scavenging oxygen from sealed packages, increasing shelf life ColorMatrix™ Lactra™ SX Light Blocking Additive for PET UV and Visible Light Barrier: ColorMatrix™ Lactra™

Addressing Challenges and Identifying Solutions for Recycled PET For example, anthranilamide (ATA)-based acetaldehyde (AA) scavengers, commonly used in PET, can deposit on the molds during injection molding. One example is Avient’s patented AA scavenger, ColorMatrix™ AAnchor™ Acetaldehyde Scavenger, developed to mitigate the issues associated with ATA-based solutions.

Similar to the ones that correct yellowing, there are special additives that “scavenge” or otherwise reduce the levels of acetaldehyde. For our part, Avient offers several solutions that enhance rPET recycling and address the challenges at every stage of the process. STAGE SOLUTION CAPABILITIES Polymer Recycling ColorMatrix™ rePrize™ - Increases intrinsic viscosity to enhance use of recycled PET - Reduces yellowing and decontamination Materials Selection ColorMatrix™ Joule™ RHB - Reduces the energy required and costs - Ensures minimal yellowing and light-weighting Preform Molding ColorMatrix™ AAzure™ - Reduces yellowing and acetaldehyde levels for improved bottled strength Preform Molding ColorWorks™ - Provides a range of possible colors for end products based on the color of the rPET available for use Preform Molding Rejoin™ PCR Masterbatch - Combines pigments and functional additives with a 100% PCR carrier for polyolefins - Enables packaging that is 100% PCR Bottle Blowing & Filling ColorMatrix™ Optica™ - Excellent acid & thermal stability to reduce yellowing and create a haze-free container Bottle Blowing & Filling ColorMatrix™ Smartheat RHC™ Process Aid - Optimizes weight distribution to increase bottle strength and quality - Reduces energy required and costs Sales, Distribution, Consumption ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ - Scavenges oxygen to extend the shelf life and preserve the freshness of food or beverages within container Sales, Distribution, Consumption ColorMatrix™ Ultimate™ UV - Blocks ultraviolet light transmission to protect the container and its contents - Enables light-weighting Sales, Distribution, Consumption ColorMatrix™ Lactra™ - High-performance light blocking that extends the shelf life of light-sensitive dairy products Taking the Next Steps Move Your Sustainability to the Next Level Because sustainable material solutions and technology are evolving at the speed of life, it takes fresh thinking, agile R & D, and imaginative use of next-generation materials to bring life-changing products to market safely and quickly.
