For applications requiring color or toning,
SmartHeat RHC is also available as ColorMatrix
Optica™ Toners & Colors for Enhanced Recyclability.
A typical remedy, adding toners and colorants, can have a detrimental effect on the brightness of the final
product.
SmartHeat RHC improves the thermal stability of PET and helps to minimize yellowing, which can
help reduce the amount of toner or color required in rPET and PET bottles.
