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. INCREASED RECYCLE CONTENT Benefits of using rePrize include: • Increased product target IV • Improved melt flow consistency • Increased recycle content • Reduced brittleness • Reduced rejects and scrap • Improved low temperature performance rePrize can be combined with other liquid additives and can be used to optimize sheet manufacturing processes and product quality, whilst allowing for increased levels of recycle, contributing towards improved sustainability and reduced costs. 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.

In automated systems, pipette tips are often made of conductive polymer materials, enabling the tip to sense the liquid and accurately measure the correct amount of liquid being transferred. This ensures accurate liquid level readings and prevent static discharge. Excellent hydrophobic properties allow complete liquid dispensing and help prevent contamination. www.avient.com Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.

Traditionally, UHT liquid dairy products have been packaged in laminated paperboard cartons, pouches, or multilayer high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and PET bottles. As a result, light-induced oxidation is minimized and properties and taste are preserved, even at the lengthy ambient shelf life common with UHT liquid dairy products. MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS Dairy packaging, including UHT liquid dairy products
