Avient™ ColorMatrix™ Joule Reheat Additive
Proprietary IR Absorber
Avient™ 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.
Such recipes
define the overall power input as well as the
lamp configuration and other important process
variables consistent with the resin and preform/
bottle design.

A challenge faced when coloring PCR resins include
recyclate materials with an undertone or opacity
that can restrict color options in PET, rPET and rPP.
A NEW PCR COLORATION TOOL
Avient has developed a digital tool to help assess
the impact of colored, recycled resins (PCR) prior to
laboratory trials.
It can be utilized on a colored resin of any given
shade, and aims to decrease complexity when
different grades of PCR are used.
