In addition to surviving the treatment period, if the sample did not exhibit signs of significant crazing or cracking then an additional positive mark was granted. Regarding tensile properties, three additional categories granted positive marks: 1. In addition to Virex® TB, seven other disinfectants common to the healthcare and consumer industry were tested and the results were recorded in Table 3.

Fortunately, there are several kinds of additives that don’t affect future recyclability of PET that can used during processing to correct for this yellowing. Similar to the ones that correct yellowing, there are special additives that “scavenge” or otherwise reduce the levels of acetaldehyde. In addition, chain extender additives can improve IV for better strength and performance.

There are significant revenue opportunities generated from the combined color and additive technology strengths of the two legacy companies. In addition, the cross- selling opportunities that leverage Avient’s Engineered Materials and Distribution segments will identify and deliver additional growth.

PlanetPak containers are optimized and recommended for Avient liquid colors and additives. What is the normal liquid addition rate? Avient can provide support and assistance on every aspect of liquid color and additive processing.

COLORMATRIX TRIPLE A™ Additive technology which reduces acetaldehyde levels in PET packaging TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION Acetaldehyde (AA) forms as a result of thermal degradation during PET melt-processing and can increase as temperature, pressure and shear in processing rises. HANDLING AND USAGE RATES Triple A is a dispersion which can be supplied individually or in combination with other ColorMatrix colorant and additive technologies. The additive has no impact on either color or clarity of containers and is easily combined with ColorMatrix color formulations.
