It enables:
• Increased rPET content
• Reduced CO2 emissions
When added to PET preforms and bottles,
ColorMatrix AAzure helps to:
• Improve bottle quality
- Reduced preform acetaldehyde
by up to 80%
- Improved mechanical strength
- Lightweighting
• Improve processability
- Reduced bottle blowouts
- Reduced scrap
- Improved productivity
• Reduce energy consumption during
bottle blowing process
ColorMatrix AAzure has a slight blue tint, which is
useful for off-setting yellowing often associated
with the use of rPET, and has minimal impact on
final product color or aesthetics.
INCREASED rPET CONTENT & IMPROVED QUALITY
Reduced Preform
Acetaldehyde Levels
Acetaldehyde generation in the pre-
form can lead to issues with taste and
odor for bottle contents.

process, which improves mechanical
strength and bottle quality.

Set up conditions
Configuration
- When starting to process a new resin, first
run through new preforms for 15 minutes at
‘standard’ conditions to establish steady state
conditions prior to any process optimization
- Slowly start to reduce preform blowing
temperatures until failures are present
(visible pearl internal wall or pearl feet)
- Increase blowing temperatures until defects
are eliminated
- QC check bottle quality for acceptance versus
established tolerances
- Change the power consumption profile in the
ovens for early heat and longer sink times but
ensure overall temperatures do not exceed cold
crystallization temperature
- Repeat temperature reduction stage and
then defect elimination stage to test if further
optimization is possible
- Recheck QC bottle quality for acceptance versus
established tolerances
- Log all process parameters and create new
specific ‘recipe’ for future use

This will generate a non-homogeneous
dispersion, resulting in sub-standard coloration
quality in the PET production process.
Furthermore, process blockages and dosing
interruptions may result from using such a poor
quality feed material.
It is usual to take samples for QC analysis from
both the preparation and feed tank vessels to
ascertain correct dilution strength and dispersion
quality on a regular basis.
