This new additive offers brand owners and converters a cost-effective solution to enhance the shelf life and recyclability of their PET bottles. ColorMatrix Amosorb 4020L is developed to provide long-lasting shelf life performance, attractive bottle aesthetics, and outstanding recyclability. This non-nylon-based additive is compatible with recycled PET (rPET), making it an excellent option for brands looking to incorporate higher levels of recycled material (up to 100%) in their packaging.

Recycle Solutions The only UV barrier additive for PET currently recognized by the Association of Plastic Recyclers and the European PET Bottle Platform for having no negative impact on the recycle stream Product integrity can be maintained, even in lightweight containers, and containers are fully recyclable
