One of the primary challenges in the recycling of PET is maintaining high yield rates for quality rPET.
Each stage can result in material loss and degradation, impacting the overall yield.
These additives should not negatively impact the recyclability of PET and should help maintain the integrity of the recycled material.

Highlights:
• Bases and bleed barriers
• Improved durability and elongation
• Modifiers and additives include thickener, reducer, and matte additives to increase the productivity and improve the finish, and effect additives to achieve textured suede or high density (3D) effect
• RFU colors a palette of 14 RFU mixing color inks, including fluorescents and silver and gold metallic
• Special-effect inks add dimension and dazzling impact to any flat print
Examples include:
• Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation
• Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses
