It enables:
• Increased rPET content
• Reduced CO
2
emissions
When added to PET preforms and bottles,
ColorMatrix AAzure helps to:
• Improve bottle quality
- Reduced preform acetaldehyde
by up to 80%
- Improved mechanical strength
- Lightweighting
• Improve processability
- Reduced bottle blowouts
- Reduced scrap
- Improved productivity
• Reduce energy consumption during
bottle blowing process
ColorMatrix AAzure has a slight blue tint, which is
useful for off-setting yellowing often associated
with the use of rPET, and has minimal impact on
final product color or aesthetics.

Black, blue
and clear are popular options, but there is
almost no limitation on color when it comes
to using TPEs.

UTILIZING ENGINEERING SIMULATIONS
Engineering simulations with advanced computer
software can be used to evaluate a variety of
product performance criteria and address
important questions related to ergonomic
design .
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-11/Smarter Materials High Performance Thermoplastics.pdf
Also, the natural color for high-performance thermoplastics is yellow or brown, which
makes achieving blues and grays much harder.
