REDUCED CO2 EMISSIONS
Increasing ColorMatrix AAzure Concentration
25% reduction in energy consumed during the bottle blowing process, based
on a commercial process producing 8.5g 0.5L water bottles at 51,000 bph

Reduced Energy Consumption
ColorMatrix AAzure increases the heat-up rate for preforms, enabling energy
reductions for the heating lamps used during the bottle blowing process.
This effect
contributes towards reducing CO
2
emissions.
