As well as color correction, this solution also improves the quality and performance of rPET and improves bottle mechanical strength, helping to reduce stoppages, blowouts and scrap while also reducing energy consumption during the bottle blowing process. Since the formulation also has improved heat stability, it will not accelerate yellowing during the recycling process, and will also help reduce energy consumption and improve bottle mechanical strength by incorporating all the added benefits from the SmartHeat RHC technology.

Homepage // News Center // Avient Featuring Colorants and Additives for Recycling Challenges at the 2023 Plastics Recycling Conference NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. – February 27, 2023 – Avient Corporation will exhibit and participate at the Plastics Recycling Conference next week, highlighting its polymer solutions that help make plastics more recyclable and improve recycled resin.   The Plastics Recycling Conference is the largest North American gathering of plastics recycling and sustainability professionals.

ColorMatrix™ Lactra™ SX Light Blocking Additive in solid masterbatch form provides high-performance light blocking technology and protection for liquid dairy contents when added to monolayer PET bottles. Lactra LX provided effective light blocking on monolayer UHT milk bottles

With its unique formulation, ColorMatrix AAnchor offers improved recyclability, reduced regulatory risk, and enhanced bottle quality, making it an ideal solution for brands looking to incorporate higher levels of recycled material into their packaging. Recycle Loop AAnchor Mg/kg Anthranilamide Mg/kg Virgin It is compatible with PET bottles formed from an extrusion blow-molded or stretch blow-molded process.

The EU’s directive for use of recycled PET (rPET) in bottles will increase from 25% in 2025. Brand owners would like to ensure the oxygen scavengers used in their PET bottles maintain their oxygen scavenging efficacy with the introduction of increasing levels of rPET. For brand owners seeking to maximize their rPET usage up to 100% to achieve sustainability and recyclability targets, Amosorb 4020R offers a cost effective solution with reliable oxygen scavenging performance and low haze levels on final bottles.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN ColorMatrix™ Joule™ RHB Fast Reheat Dispersions Handling and Usage ColorMatrix™ Joule™ dispersion fast reheat products are intended for use in PET (bottle polymer) production processes in the manufacturing of CSD 0.82IV reheat polymers and are used successfully throughout the world on all types of PET production technologies. On occasion, Joule RHB products can also be used in bottle polymer destined for water applications, but this usage decision depends on the application tolerance to color which must be determined via marketing specialists prior to any trials. The proprietary ColorMatrix technology has been shown to deliver superior energy saving at bottle blowing whilst at the same time imparting an attractive light blue-shaded color to the preforms (and bottles) without contributing to bottle haze.
