CLEVELAND – May 5, 2021 – Avient today announced the launch of ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ 4020R, a non-nylon-containing oxygen scavenger additive specifically formulated to enable the use of up to 100 percent recycled PET (rPET) content.     Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses FOR MEDIA USE ONLY: To download a high-resolution image, please click here: FOR MEDIA USE ONLY

This TPE provided a lower durometer than AES for enhanced vibration damping combined with durability for demanding use conditions. Currently, the company is producing 800,000 housings annually using the specialty TPE material. Adding to the overall value of the solution, the TPE yields significantly less scrap than the previously used AES material.

Created using ColorMatrix™ advanced liquid color dispersions, the new colorants  produce effects such as iridescent color movements and unique surface appearance that can enhance brand presence and deliver differentiated shelf impact across beverage, personal care and household product packaging applications. When working closely with customers early in the design stage, we can use these solutions to help them maximize shelf appeal and increase market share.” Because they are able to use conventional gloss preform and blow molds, there is no need for customers to create new tooling.

They are suitable for use in telecommunications, energy and power, and automotive applications.
