COLORMATRIX™ OXYGEN SCAVENGER PRODUCT FAMILY Amosorb™ and Amosorb™ SolO2 active oxygen scavengers ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ additives are oxygen scavenging polyester concentrates that create an active barrier against the ingress of oxygen through the walls of PET containers. These ready-to-use technologies offer extended shelf life capabilities and the flexibility to manage the additional demands of rPET usage, resin compatibility and flexibility, sustainability, light- weighting, aesthetics, market seasonality and carbonated oxygen sensitive beverages.

ColorMatrix™ rePrize™ is a patent- protected, liquid formulation IV builder designed for addition to the extrusion process during the manufacture of rPET. ColorMatrix rePrize is a very reactive additive and any changes to the extruder temperatures and parameters will have an effect on melt viscosity of the polymer and also the finished article.

Higher levels of acetaldehyde; off-taste in water ColorMatrix™ Triple A™ Acetaldehyde Scavenger Additive to control levels of acetaldehyde within the preform, allowing for higher levels of rPET to be used. Color degradation; product protection ColorMatrix™ Ultimate™ UV Light Barrier APR/EPBP approved additive to block ultraviolet light transmission Protects the product and brand integrity during storage, transportation and in the retail environment, maintaining product quality and enhancing shelf life.

PRODUCT BULLETIN Cesa™ Nox A4R Additives for Recycling Polyolefin Antioxidant for Enhanced Recycling RECYCLED MATERIAL IN A CHANGING MARKET Legislation globally is driving change towards increased quantities of post-consumer recycled materials (PCR), further encouraged by the implementation of usage targets and new tariffs. It is a specialized antioxidant additive that stabilizes polyolefins during processing—preventing the typical defects like discoloration, gels, and black spots—during initial, and future conversion steps and recycling loops.

Custom colors and pigment loadings can be developed for specific applications and can be combined with our anti-yellowing additives RAL reference is the closest possible match* Recommended let-down-ratio addition rates.
