TECHNICAL BULLETIN ColorMatrix™ Joule™ Reheat Additive Proprietary IR Absorber 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.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Enables 100% PCR packaging • Helps companies meet sustainability goals • Replaces virgin resin, reducing total energy consumption and limiting emissions* • Combines colorants and functional additives in one solution • Allows for full recyclability of the end product • Provides a lower carbon product footprint than traditional masterbatch • Suitable for use in polyethylene (PET) and polypropylene (PP) as well as in rPET and rPP applications MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS Rejoin PCR Colorants are designed for use in a broad range of applications, including household and personal care packaging, consumer goods, or food and beverage containers.

ColorMatrix™ Optica™ Toners & Colors added to PET resin, preforms and rPET corrects and reduces the yellowing that occurs during the recycling process. Improves quality and performance of rPET ColorMatrix™ rePrize™ IV Builder for PET

CLEVELAND – May 5, 2021 – Avient today announced the launch of ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ 4020R, a non-nylon-containing oxygen scavenger additive specifically formulated to enable the use of up to 100 percent recycled PET (rPET) content. PET packaging can be easily recycled, yet plastic packaging waste in landfills and oceans is increasing worldwide. As a result, the demand for high quality rPET packaging has never been greater.
