Performance Reheating rPET, so that it can be molded into a bottle preform shape, also decreases the plastic’s intrinsic viscosity (IV) due to a decrease in polymer chain length.
In addition, chain extender additives can improve IV for better strength and performance.
One common challenge with using rPET bottles is the breakdown of the polymer chains that occurs as the material is heated and remelted during processing.

Silicone’s excellent resistance to staining, however, comes with some trade offs - limited design freedom, long lead times and supply chain challenges.
Offering premium blue jean stain resistance on par with silicone, this material increases design freedom, boosts speed to market capabilities, and enhances supply chain flexibility at a significantly reduced cost.
Enhance supply chain flexibility – Unlike silicone, which is limited by a complex silica mining supply chain and manufactured in silicone-only factories, Avient TPEs can be processed by any injection molding manufacturer.

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.
Added to the feed throat and designed to increase the polymer chain length via reactive extrusion, rePrize enables an increase in both the polymer intrinsic and melt viscosity. 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.
FEATURE BENEFIT • Liquid technology • More accurate dose control • Less variation in melt flow and product IV • Can be coupled to an on-line rheometer • Shorter transition times • Does not require pre-drying • Less dust • Higher IV in melt phase • Improved uniformity when replacing virgin PET in PCR sheet • Eliminate/reduce solid phase polymerization (rPET) • Increased use of post consumer flake or re-grind (Sheet) • Reduced brittleness, less breakages and scrap • More consistent melt flow IMPACT • Reduced cost • Higher productivity • Cleaner working environment PROCESS HIGHLIGHTS IMPACT • Higher productivity • Reduced cost • Cleaner working environment • New product designs and applications • Improved shelf appeal PET SHEET PROCESS BENEFITS • Increases final IV • Less variation in product IV • More consistent melt flow • Increased use of flake or regrind • Shorter transition times • Reduced scrap • Reduced dust PRODUCT BENEFITS • Improved impact strength • Improved low temperature performance • Reduced brittleness • Improved aesthetics Information and photographs supplied by Sunwell Global Ltd IMPACT • Higher productivity • Reduced cost • Improved sustainability IMPACT • Lighter weight, higher strength • Reduced cost • Properties comparable to PS packaging • Recyclable PET MONO/MULTI LAYERED SHEET XPET FOAM SHEET ROUND DIE PROCESS BENEFITS • Improved melt flow consistency • Improved IV consistency • Increased recycle content • Reduced rejects and scrap PRODUCT BENEFITS • Increased product strength • Improved low temperature performance • Reduced brittleness PROCESS BENEFITS • Increase final IV • Increased use of regrind • Impossible to start up without it • Faster product changeover • Easier to cut PRODUCT BENEFITS • Increased strength • Lighter weight • Good sealing ColorMatrix™ rePrize is a PET compatible formulated liquid dispersion, designed to increase the polymer chain length via reactive extrusion.
