PRODUCT BULLETIN
ColorMatrix™ Optica™
PET Blue Toners & Colors For Enhanced Recyclability
ColorMatrix™ Optica™ patented liquid blue toners
and colors are formulated for improved heat
stability and are designed for addition to PET
preforms or rPET to correct and reduce yellowing
that occurs during the recycling process.
This process can lead to a degradation of the PET
over time and a shift in color, often manifested
as increased color variability or yellowing, which
is undesirable in food and beverage packaging.
THE SOLUTION
When added to PET preforms or rPET, ColorMatrix
Optica blue toners and color formulations work to
correct any yellowing or color variation, resulting
in packaging that maintains a neutral or blue color
with improved quality and performance.
