ColorMatrix™ rePrize is a PET compatible formulated liquid dispersion, designed to
increase the polymer chain length via reactive extrusion.
This results in an increase
in both the polymer intrinsic and melt viscosity. rePrize is suited to applications in:
• PET monolayer sheet
• PET multilayered sheet
• PET foamed sheet
rePrize can be used to optimise sheet manufacturing processes and product quality,
whilst allowing for increased levels of recycle, contributing towards improved
sustainability and reduced costs

EXPERIENCE AND MEET GUIDELINES
THE CHALLENGE
EZR Sport® is an American company specializing in grips
for industrial & military manufacturers since 1964.
EZR Sport wanted a flexible foam grip that could be
chemically resistant to gun oil and diethyltoluamide
or DEET (the most common active chemical ingredient
in insect repellents), UV resistant for longer-lasting
aesthetics, and compliant with California’s Proposition
65 law (requiring businesses to provide warnings to
Californians about significant exposures to chemicals
that cause cancer, congenital disabilities or other
reproductive harm).
THE IMPACT
By using Avient’s CORE formulation combined with the
proprietary manufacturing process from EZR Sport, the
companies created an exceptional foam cell structure,
providing excellent shock absorption with a cushioning
effect for steady hand placement.

Chemical foaming agents, materials that generate gas upon decomposition, also act as nucleating agents.
The fine-grain spherulite structure of ingredients incorporated in Hydrocerol™ chemical foaming agents make it an ideal nucleating agent in direct gassed PS and polyolefin foams.
