Discover the benefits UV light blockers offer for PET beverage packaging PET is a popular packaging material that continues to meet the demands of the beverage industry. UV barrier additives that don’t affect PET clarity or quality during recycling help brand owners improve their sustainability credentials and in general enable more recycled PET to be used when producing new containers.

Scenarios for 2030 predict that of the 1300kt of PET material coming from PET bottles collected from the market yearly, between 20 to 30% will be colored bottles;2 these will enter their respective sorting and collection systems to ultimately produce rPET material that will be fed as new raw material for non-food PET applications.

COLORMATRIX™ rePrize™ Liquid dispersion chain extender for PET monolayer, multilayer and foamed sheet ColorMatrix™ rePrize™ is a PET and PC compatible formulated liquid dispersion chain extender. rePrize can be used to replace virgin PET in PET sheet, when virgin PET is used in combination with PCR flake or regrind, to increase the IV. This results in an increase in both the polymer intrinsic and melt viscosity. rePrize is suited to applications in: • PET monolayer sheet • PET multilayered sheet • PET foamed sheet rePrize can be used to optimise sheet manufacturing processes and product quality, whilst allowing for increased levels of recycle, contributing towards improved sustainability and reduced costs PRODUCT DESCRIPTION GLOBAL REGULATORY APPROVALS PRODUCT FDA EU GB MERCOSUR rePrize • • • • 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ 4020G Non-nylon based PET oxygen scavenger with lower haze and less impact on recycle stream ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ 4020G is a non-nylon based next generation oxygen scavenger for PET rigid packaging with a reduction in haze and lower impact on the recycle stream. The EU’s directive for use of recycled PET (rPET) in bottles will increase from 25% in 2025 to 30% in 2030. ColorMatrix Amosorb 4020G also lowers impact on the PET recycle stream due to a reduction in rPET yellowing.

VALUE SOLUTION Traditionally light blocking was achieved with use of multilayer HDPE and PET packaging. Lactra SX enables light blocking in single PET layer bottles, and offers the added advantage of design freedom. To increase the user friendly aspects of UHT dairy packaging, ColorMatrix Lactra SX Light Blocking Additive expands design freedom by allowing designers to use a single PET layer bottle to create the same visible light blocking as paperboard and multilayer HDPE and PET packaging.

ColorMatrix™ Lactra™ Four, One & Zero Low Inorganic and TiO2 Light Blocking Additive Solutions for PET Dairy & Dairy-Alternative Packaging ColorMatrix™ Lactra™ is a range of high-performance light blocking additive solutions for PET dairy and dairy-alternative packaging. With a focus upon sustainability Avient has focused its additive technology development on mono-layer PET. PET is also a more user-friendly material; it can enable better shape, handling, storage, opening, pouring and resealing.
