In addition to simplifying processing, Versaflex PF formulations reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions during manufacturing. BENEFITS OF VERSAFLEX PF FOR SURFACE PROTECTIVE FILMS: • Customizable tack • Single-step manufacturing process (co- extrusion) • Low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions during manufacturing • Eliminates secondary coating and drying operations • Eliminates hazardous liquid chemicals compared to solvent systems • Reduces converting costs versus coating • Reduces energy consumption MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS Versaflex PF formulations, customizable based on desired level of tack, are co-extruded with protective films to provide just the right amount of protection during the fabrication, assembly, shipment, storage and installation of finished goods in many industries and end-use applications including: • Optical films and display panels for consumer electronics • Home appliances • Construction and building materials • Furniture and cabinetry • Automotive and other transportation 100/0 90/10 80/20 70/30 60/40 40/60 30/70 20/80 10/90 0/100 0.9 1.1 2.0 2.4 2.8 3.7 3.8 4.9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 6.5 1.6 MD6727 MD6748 MD6700 MD6666 9512 MD6649 MD6741 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 % of MD6741/MD6700 Degree of tack can be customized for substrate surfaces.

The useful life of plastisol is dependent upon the specific formulation. The typical shelf life of most plastisols will be 60 days, depending upon the plastisol formulation. Some plastisol formulations may stay usable for considerably longer periods when stored under good warehousing practices.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN ColorMatrix™ Joule™ Reheat Additive Proprietary IR Absorber ColorMatrix™ Joule™ reheat additive is a proprietary IR absorber manufactured and marketed by ColorMatrix worldwide for use in PET resin formulations suitable for carbonated soft drinks and beverage applications. In order to deliver the best blow molding performance, it is customary within the conversion industry to establish ‘recipe’ guidelines per resin/per supplier as different PET resin production technologies and different specific resin formulations can significantly influence the blow molding performance.

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.
