ColorMatrix™ Optica™ Toners & Colors added to PET resin, preforms and rPET corrects and reduces the yellowing that occurs during the recycling process.

The reaction occurs and fibers are formed and cured.

The activation of Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents should happen approximately in the middle of the barrel exceeding the temperature indicated in the technical data sheet of the processed Hydrocerol concentrates grade. The gas expansion pressure supports the foam core structure formation while reducing the appearance of sink marks, as it expands from within. The CBE process allows a smooth, strong surface (as in automotive Class A) while still having a highly foamed interior.

In the event of Buyer’s breach or failure to perform, Seller shall be entitled to (but is not required to) recover from Buyer, in addition to any other damages caused by such action: (i) in the case of Products produced specifically for Buyer or which reasonably cannot be resold by Seller to a third party, the price of such Products as quoted in Seller’s order confirmation; or (ii) in the case of Products which can be resold by Seller, damages equal to fifty percent (50%) of the price for the Products as quoted in Seller’s order confirmation, as liquidated damages. 9. No statement of agreement, oral or written, made before or at the formation of the contract shall vary or modify the written terms hereof, and neither party shall claim any amendment, modification or release from any provision hereof unless such change occurs in a writing signed by the other party and specifically identifying it as an amendment to the contract. No modification or addition to the contract shall occur by the acknowledgment or acceptance by Seller of a purchase order, acknowledgment, release or other form submitted by Buyer containing additional or different terms or conditions. 20.

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.
