ColorMatrix™ PET Packaging Guide Rethink your PET packaging. This PET optimization guide provides a brief overview of some factors to consider when choosing PET as a packaging material.

Oxygen scavenger reduces PET haze and improves recyclability for consumer packaging in the circular economy. PET is a popular material choice for food and beverage packaging, affording high clarity with design flexibility. ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ 4020G is a non-nylon based, low-haze oxygen scavenger for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) rigid packaging.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS Impress is designed for PET. PRODUCT BULLETIN APPLICATIONS • Beverages • Personal Care • Consumer Goods Compatible with: • PET • Injection blow molding TECHNOLOGY COMPONENTS Impress is formulated using an additive that adds a brilliant ultra-glossy appearance to packaging made with semi-crystalline polymers. Avient will engage with customers to determine whether a liquid or solid masterbatch would be optimal for their applications.

Homepage // News Center // New PolyOne PET and rPET Bottle Solution Supports Circular Economy SmartHeat RHC is an APR-accredited additive dispersion for rPET and PET preforms. It enables greater recycled content in PET bottles to reduce carbon emissions and support sustainability by improving the thermal stability of PET throughout the recycling process.  

Home // Improving Quality of 100% Recycled PET (rPET) Content PET packaging can be easily recycled, yet plastic packaging waste in landfills and oceans is increasing worldwide. ColorMatrix™ Capture™ Oxygen Scavenger is an emerging technology for the monolayer PET packaging market.

Home // Closing the Loop with Post-consumer Recycled PET Beverage Bottles PET is a popular material choice for food and beverage packaging, affording high clarity with design flexibility. ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ 4020G is a non-nylon based, low-haze oxygen scavenger for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) rigid packaging.

Homepage // News Center // PET Haze Reduced, Recyclability Improved, with New Amosorb™ Oxygen Scavenger Additives are often included in PET packaging to help protect contents and extend shelf life, but they can decrease packaging clarity. As a result, brand owners need to ensure the oxygen scavengers used in their PET bottles maintain efficacy as increasing levels of rPET are introduced.
