This new solution also improves the aesthetics of recycled packaging in terms of haze and color, including a reduction in the yellowing effect that may occur during recycling.

Our expanding portfolio of offerings includes colorants, advanced composites, functional additives, engineered materials, and Dyneema®, the world's strongest fiber™. 

Depending on haptic targets, TPEs can provide a variety of feels from grippy to silky, and can be brightly colored to enhance aesthetics and consumer appeal. 

Where UV barrier addition rates are low, they can also offer cost and process efficiencies over opaque coloration or sleeve shrink wrapping. 

Find the perfect choice for every consumer market, customized with colorants and additives

This material, also known as a thermoplastic elastomer, has a soft, grippy feel and is highly colorable.

New ColorMatrix™ Optica™ Toners from Avient Correct Color, Enhance Performance in rPET

It enables: • Increased rPET content • Reduced CO2 emissions When added to PET preforms and bottles, ColorMatrix AAzure helps to: • Improve bottle quality - Reduced preform acetaldehyde by up to 80% - Improved mechanical strength - Lightweighting • Improve processability - Reduced bottle blowouts - Reduced scrap - Improved productivity • Reduce energy consumption during bottle blowing process ColorMatrix AAzure has a slight blue tint, which is useful for off-setting yellowing often associated with the use of rPET, and has minimal impact on final product color or aesthetics.
