In addition to surviving the treatment period, if the sample did not exhibit signs of significant crazing or cracking then an additional positive mark was granted. Regarding tensile properties, three additional categories granted positive marks: 1. In addition to Virex® TB, seven other disinfectants common to the healthcare and consumer industry were tested and the results were recorded in Table 3.

Fortunately, there are several kinds of additives that don’t affect future recyclability of PET that can used during processing to correct for this yellowing. Similar to the ones that correct yellowing, there are special additives that “scavenge” or otherwise reduce the levels of acetaldehyde. In addition, chain extender additives can improve IV for better strength and performance.

COLORMATRIX TRIPLE A™ Additive technology which reduces acetaldehyde levels in PET packaging TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION Acetaldehyde (AA) forms as a result of thermal degradation during PET melt-processing and can increase as temperature, pressure and shear in processing rises. HANDLING AND USAGE RATES Triple A is a dispersion which can be supplied individually or in combination with other ColorMatrix colorant and additive technologies. The additive has no impact on either color or clarity of containers and is easily combined with ColorMatrix color formulations.

COLORMATRIX™ ULTIMATE™ UV LIGHT BLOCKING ADDITIVES UV absorbing additive technology with broadband protection for PET and rPET COLORMATRIX™ ULTIMATE™ UV TECHNOLOGY The ColorMatrix™ Ultimate™ UV range offers cost- effective light blocking for UV sensitive products packaged in PET. Global formulations Ultimate UV technology is formulated for global use and can be used in combination with other ColorMatrix colorant and additive solutions. Handling Ultimate UV is supplied as a liquid dispersion which offers convenient, accurate and consistent dosing from minimal product addition.

PlanetPak containers are optimized and recommended for Avient liquid colors and additives. What is the normal liquid addition rate? Avient can provide support and assistance on every aspect of liquid color and additive processing.

ColorMatrix™ Lactra™ LX Light Blocking Additive for PET A bright white, light blocking technology for UHT dairy packaging ColorMatrix™ Lactra™ LX Light Blocking Additive provides high-performance light blocking technology and protection for liquid dairy products in monolayer polyethylene (PET) bottles. It is a bright white, solid masterbatch additive that protects contents from visible light and extends shelf life. To increase the user-friendly aspects of UHT dairy packaging, ColorMatrix Lactra LX Light Blocking Additive expands design freedom by allowing designers to use a single PET layer bottle to create the same visible light blocking as paperboard and multilayer HDPE and PET packaging.

There are significant revenue opportunities generated from the combined color and additive technology strengths of the two legacy companies. In addition, the cross- selling opportunities that leverage Avient’s Engineered Materials and Distribution segments will identify and deliver additional growth. Whether an additional line at an existing manufacturing plant, or a new facility in a growing region, we ramp-up quickly and cost-efficiently. 29 Capex / Revenue 2021E (%) AVIENT IS ASSET LIGHT Avient Specialty Other 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 3 4 4 5 5 5 5 5 6 7 27 e nt e nt ( xc l.
