Pros: Common, easy to implement, cost-efficient
Software advances are making these solutions more attainable but there is also a price premium as well as a cost to establish the initial infrastructure required.

Tool Steel
• P20 tool steel is acceptable when proper processing and shut down procedures
are followed
• Chrome plating or PH stainless steel is preferred for all halogen-based systems
• The use of stainless steel in hot runner systems is highly suggested
• Avoid the use of aluminum when designing production tools
Vents
• Place vents at the end of fill and anywhere potential knit/weld lines will occur
• All vents need to be vented to atmosphere
• Cut vent depths to 0.0010"–0.0015" with a minimum 0.040" land length.

To do so the following procedure was carried out:
• Preforms were produced by dosing 0.09% of
Avient Fortis Amber-1 and 4% of our nylon-
based oxygen scavenger Amosorb SolO2-2
• Preforms were ground down to a coarse granule
size (~2mm) using a Retsch mill
• The coarse ground preforms were crystallized
in a vacuum oven at 160°C before drying the
material in a PET drier at 160°C for approx. 4
hours
• This material was then injection molded and
blown into bottles with a) 50:50 dilution with
Virgin PET with no color and b) 50:50 dilution
with Virgin PET + Fortis Amber-1 at 0.045%
