COLORMATRIX™
AANCHOR™
Acetaldehyde Control
Technology for PET
Enhance the Recyclability
and Quality of PET
Packaging While Reducing
Regulatory Risk
ColorMatrix™ AAnchor™ is an innovative
acetaldehyde control technology designed to
address the challenges associated with increased
rPET content in PET packaging.
IMPROVED RECYCLABILITY
Increased rPET content requires higher
levels of acetaldehyde (AA) scavenger,
which can lead to various issues.

ACETALDEHYDE
REDUCTION
Commercial case studies have
demonstrated that ColorMatrix AAnchor
effectively reduces acetaldehyde levels
in PET preforms, enhancing the ability
to meet customer specifications for
low acetaldehyde content.

Consider these solutions:
• Anti-stat to prevent dust build up
• UV blockers or stabilizers to protect package
contents
• Anti-microbials for limiting microbe
development
• Scratch and mar technology to preserve surface
finishes
• Impact modifiers that increase flexibility
and durability
Reduce Risk with Regulatory Support
We know that regulatory compliance requirements
are constantly changing.
Be Sustainable
Eco-conscious consumers value recycled content,
renewable resources and resource efficiency.
We’ll
work with you on solutions that help protect the
Earth’s resources, such as:
• Increase use of post-consumer recycled (PCR)
content with highly loaded colorants
• Use foaming agents to reduce material usage
• Extend product life with additives that protect
against harsh environments
• Conserve resources with solutions that enable
more efficient production; reduce part weight,
energy or material consumption; enable
faster cycle times; or provide better insulating
properties
