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.

Avient™ ColorMatrix™ Joule Reheat Additive
Proprietary IR Absorber
Avient™ ColorMatrix™ Joule reheat additive
is a proprietary IR absorber manufactured and
marketed by ColorMatrix worldwide for use
in PET resin formulations suitable for carbonated
soft drinks and beverage applications.
As a major supplier of additives and colors
to the plastics industry, ColorMatrix has, in the
course of supporting its customers worldwide,
developed best practice guidelines for its
products which it provides as a free service.
Such advice, for example how to set up blow
molding machines, is not equipment specific and
therefore ColorMatrix would always recommend
using local or expert technicians in addition to
following best practice points listed below;
• Preforms should be conditioned for minimum
24 hours prior to blowing
• Preforms should always be used in a FIFO
manner (First In, First Out)
• Octabins of preforms should be segregated and
blown per resin type, i.e. not mixed with other
resins
• A preform traceability system should be in
place such that any process upsets can be
quickly followed up and corrected
• Enhanced QC preform checking resources
for bottle distribution, aesthetics and integrity
should be on-hand during the performance
optimization trials
• Prior to any process optimization, the blowing
machine performance should be verified as
being within normal i.e. accepted standard
ranges and all important components and
control features are working satisfactorily.

ColorMatrix™ Lactra™ LX Light Blocking Additive for PET
A bright white, light blocking technology for UHT dairy packaging
ColorMatrix™ Lactra™ LX Light Blocking Additive
provides high-performance light blocking
technology and protection for liquid dairy products
in monolayer polyethylene (PET) bottles.
It is
a bright white, solid masterbatch additive that
protects contents from visible light and extends shelf
life.
To increase the user-friendly aspects of UHT dairy
packaging, ColorMatrix Lactra LX Light Blocking
Additive expands design freedom by allowing
designers to use a single PET layer bottle to create
the same visible light blocking as paperboard and
multilayer HDPE and PET packaging.

We will deliver for our stakeholders through multiple value creation levers—many of
which are unique to Avient:
o Demand for sustainable solutions, healthcare, and composites, together with Clariant Color
revenue synergies, that will drive long-term revenue growth in excess of GDP
o Clariant color cost synergy capture will result in significant near-term benefit
In addition, we remain committed to increasing annual dividends in line with earnings growth and
opportunistically buying back shares, all while remaining modestly levered.

In addition, brand owners
can readily include additives that identify authentic products, allowing them to combat counterfeit
versions TPEs can also assist with fast visual identification at point-of-sale or during administration.

In addition, production costs increase, as rubber parts typically require
deflashing and assembly using adhesives.
In addition, the formulation
meets ISO 15759 requirements for medical infusion equipment and is
manufactured in an ISO 13485 facility.
