Suitable for PET and rPET preforms and bottles, it can be added to preforms providing the following benefits: • Improved blowing performance • Potential for increased rPET content • Increased mechanical strength • Potential for lightweighting • Improved performance through the recycle process • Reduced energy consumption • No pre-drying requirements SmartHeat RHC can contribute towards improved productivity, reduced manufacturing costs, improved sustainability, and can broaden the scope for bottle design.
It is metered into the PET stream just above the extruder feed throat of the injection molding machine using an Avient-supplied ColorMatrix dosing system.
Melt processing of SmartHeat RHC is carried out at typical PET processing conditions at recommended dose rates, which range from .02% to .075%.
