The
activation changes the molecular structure of these
additives, causing a color change that provides
the vivid contrast of laser marking.
The mark
can be white or dark in color.
Avient has experience formulating
Cesa Laser Marking solutions that can work within
a wide variety of polymers and processes, including
injection molding, blow molding and extrusion.

Providing
solutions that are considered recyclable within the
colored bottle stream will thus be an integral part
of the recyclability strategy for both convertors and
brand owners.
The coarse ground material was then
crystallized in a vacuum oven at 160°C before
drying the material at 160°C for approx. 4 hours
within a PET drier
• Plaques were then molded on a BOY XS and 10
of these were kept after each cycle, to take color
measurements
• This process was then repeated until 5 heat
cycles had been completed
RESULTS FOR RECYCLABILITY METHOD-1
As plaques were produced while the material went
through five different melt heat histories, plaques
were produced at each cycle and L*, a*, and b*
values were measured.
To do so the following procedure was carried out:
• Preforms were produced by dosing 0.09% of
Avient Fortis Amber-1 and 4% of our nylon-
based oxygen scavenger Amosorb SolO2-2
• Preforms were ground down to a coarse granule
size (~2mm) using a Retsch mill
• The coarse ground preforms were crystallized
in a vacuum oven at 160°C before drying the
material in a PET drier at 160°C for approx. 4
hours
• This material was then injection molded and
blown into bottles with a) 50:50 dilution with
Virgin PET with no color and b) 50:50 dilution
with Virgin PET + Fortis Amber-1 at 0.045%
