The coarse ground material was then crystallized in a vacuum oven at 160°C before drying the material at 160°C for approx. 4 hours within a PET drier • Plaques were then molded on a BOY XS and 10 of these were kept after each cycle, to take color measurements • This process was then repeated until 5 heat cycles had been completed RESULTS FOR RECYCLABILITY METHOD-1 As plaques were produced while the material went through five different melt heat histories, plaques were produced at each cycle and L*, a*, and b* values were measured. After having the flakes coming from the original bottles go through up to 5 melt histories, it was shown that the L*, a* and b* values underwent minimal changes, thus allowing for retention of the original desired tone of the bottles. The regrind combination study also showed how retention of original standard amber tone could be closely maintained with very minimal addition of Fortis-Amber 1, even after a dilution with 50% vPET of material coming from original packaging articles, with or without the further addition of SolO2-2.
