THE SOLUTION When added to PET preforms or rPET, ColorMatrix Optica blue toners and color formulations work to correct any yellowing or color variation, resulting in packaging that maintains a neutral or blue color with improved quality and performance. 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.

However, the way color is added to fibers can directly affect the sustainability of the final fabric, which is an important topic for the textile industry.

The reliable low liquid level detection system alerts operators when product is running low; adding additional product does not require stopping the machine, so continuous production is possible without any loss of part color. 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2023, Avient Corporation.

Adding fiber reinforcement to ductile thermoplastic polymers provides a substantial boost in modulus. With carbon fiber reinforced composites there can be additional perceived value added to products by consumers for utilizing “high tech” materials. Thermoplastics inherent ductility combined with the energy dissipation efficiency that provides long fiber reinforced composites with added toughness to resist impact forces also translates into good vibration and sound damping capabilities.  

It wanted to avoid the brittleness, cracking and resulting product recalls and added costs that happen when the material is put in contact with harsh disinfectants. The results showed the Avient material outperformed typical FR PC/ABS and had an added bonus: a UL yellow card V0 flammability rating for all colors and some thicknesses.* Avient also used its custom color matching capabilities to provide pre-colored material that simplified molding, while the material’s wide processing window helped accommodate a variety of molding environments

In addition, consumers are seeking convenience provided by laundry packs and packaging with value-added dispensing for liquids.  Chemically resistant TPEs for overmolded caps and value added dispensing

It enables: • Increased rPET content • Reduced CO2 emissions When added to rPET and PET preforms and bottles, SmartHeat RHC helps to: • Improve rPET quality - Better thermal stability, reduced yellowing • Improve bottle quality - Greater processability - Lightweighting • Reduce energy consumption during the blow molding process SmartHeat RHC has minimal impact on final product color or aesthetics. A typical remedy, adding toners and colorants, can have a detrimental effect on the brightness of the final product.
