Hydrocerol improved productivity up to 20% due to lower cycle times and processability on different injection molding units. Using Hydrocerol with core-back molding technology, a process in which the mold is opened slightly to further reduce pressure and allow the foam core to expand, Avient helped the customer leverage density reduction to lower finished part weight.

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% Figure 2.

Some common manufacturing options are pultrusion, resin injection, resin transfer molding (RTM) and filament winding. Design flexibility — Composites can be molded into complex shapes and textures at a relatively low cost. To start, it’s best to know the kind of environment in which your product will be and what kind of properties you need (e.g., heat or water resistant, hard or soft, color).

Another color-related challenge is the multitude of different color streams of recycled PET, which can limit the uses for recycled colored PET. Fortunately, there is new technology that can analyze the color of the PET or rPET to be used for a new product and predict the range of colors possible for the end product. In many instances, these colored bottles may offer an outlet to utilize some of the less transparent rPET feedstock as the colorant can mask the original recyclate color.
