PET degrades and yellows at high temperatures, hence reducing the time of exposure to heat in SSP, can help to reduce the yellowing of rPET. ColorMatrix rePrize is metered into the PET stream just above the extruder feed throat using a ColorMatrix FlexCart dosing system. Melt processing of rePrize in PET blends is done at typical polyester conditions.
