TECHNICAL BULLETIN ColorMatrix™ Joule™ RHB Fast Reheat Dispersions Handling and Usage ColorMatrix™ Joule™ dispersion fast reheat products are intended for use in PET (bottle polymer) production processes in the manufacturing of CSD 0.82IV reheat polymers and are used successfully throughout the world on all types of PET production technologies. Joule RHB products have also been found to have a synergistic and beneficial processing effect with use of rPET, not only in masking the color during recycling but also in enabling high levels of rPET to be successfully incorporated in preforms. Joule additive is available as a 10% concentrated dispersion, made up solely of 10% active component with 90% PET grade mono ethylene glycol (MEG).

COLORMATRIX™ rePrize™ Liquid dispersion chain extender for PET monolayer, multilayer and foamed sheet ColorMatrix™ rePrize™ is a PET and PC compatible formulated liquid dispersion chain extender. rePrize can be used to replace virgin PET in PET sheet, when virgin PET is used in combination with PCR flake or regrind, to increase the IV. This results in an increase in both the polymer intrinsic and melt viscosity. rePrize is suited to applications in: • PET monolayer sheet • PET multilayered sheet • PET foamed sheet rePrize can be used to optimise sheet manufacturing processes and product quality, whilst allowing for increased levels of recycle, contributing towards improved sustainability and reduced costs PRODUCT DESCRIPTION GLOBAL REGULATORY APPROVALS PRODUCT FDA EU GB MERCOSUR rePrize • • • • 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

COLORMATRIX TRIPLE A™ Additive technology which reduces acetaldehyde levels in PET packaging TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION Acetaldehyde (AA) forms as a result of thermal degradation during PET melt-processing and can increase as temperature, pressure and shear in processing rises. Therefore a number of high quality bottled water brands have adapted 40ppb as an upper limit for acetaldehyde migration from PET bottles. RECYCLE FRIENDLY Triple A facilitates the use of rPET and regrind in recycled applications and provides excellent recyclability.

ColorMatrix™ Capture™ Oxygen Scavenger is a novel technology for the PET & rPET beverage packaging market. Allows use of 100% rPET Contributes to higher quality rPET supply and helps reuse and minimization of PET waste

CLEVELAND – April 13, 2021 – As food and beverage brands increasingly seek to support a circular economy by using more recycled PET (rPET), several aesthetic and processing challenges inherent in rPET are also emerging. To help combat these issues, Avient today announced the launch of ColorMatrix™ Optica™ PET blue toners and colorants, which enable enhanced recyclability of PET packaging. Formulated for addition to virgin PET and recycled PET (rPET), heat-stable ColorMatrix Optica blue toners work to correct and reduce the yellowing or color variation that typically occurs during the recycling process.
