ColorMatrix™
rePrize™ for rPET
REDUCED SSP TIME & IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY
ColorMatrix rePrize allows for an increase in IV in the melt extrusion process, which permits reduced time in
solid state polymerization to achieve the same target IV.
ColorMatrix™ rePrize™ is a patent-
protected, liquid formulation IV builder
designed for addition to the extrusion process
during the manufacture of rPET.

HOW GLS TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN AUTOMOTIVE HVAC APPLICATIONS
• Low VOC/FOG – externally tested to VDA 278
and shows significant reductions in volatile
organic compounds and fogging when
compared to current TPE technologies
• Industry standards – helps to achieve VOC/
FOG performance standards for improved VIAQ
• Reduced manufacturing steps – does not
require pre-drying or post heating to reduce
VOC in parts produced
• Design optimization – color can be added at
the machine
• Easy to process – can be extruded, injection
molded and extrusion blow molded
• Recyclable – Our automotive TPEs are
compatible with most municipal recycle
streams
• Global support – Avient automotive TPEs
can be manufactured in locations that are
convenient to your operations, including
North America, Europe or China
