Performance Reheating rPET, so that it can be molded into a bottle preform shape, also decreases the plastic’s intrinsic viscosity (IV) due to a decrease in polymer chain length. Colored PET—As manufacturers look to transfer packaging away from less recycled polymers to PET, there is an expectation that color will remain an important brand differentiator on the shelves. One common challenge with using rPET bottles is the breakdown of the polymer chains that occurs as the material is heated and remelted during processing.

Unless you are a polymer expert, it’s challenging to know which type of TPE is the best fit for your use case. Repurposing and recycling You can also make TPEs out of biopolymers, which are natural polymers produced by the cells of living organisms. At Avient, we use a collaborative approach to deliver the specialty polymer formulations, services and sustainable material solutions specific to your application and property needs.
