This technology offers manufacturing efficiencies versus other crosslinking methods: • Reduction in logistics management: No secondary steps after manufacturing; no need for E-beam radiation for effective crosslinking • Rapid ambient curing: Typically in less than 15 days depending on the climatic condition, wall thickness and catalyst level • No additional capital investment: The material can be processed on a conventional extrusion line • Easy handling: ECCOH XL 8001 is used with 2.5–5% of catalyst masterbatch • No pre-drying: No need to pre-dry the material if it is stored correctly PRODUCT BULLETIN KEY CHARACTERISTICS Avient’s ECCOH line of highly flame retardant, non-halogenated materials limits the emission of corrosive gases when burning.

By applying our technology and experience, we can help you to enhance these materials with color, additives and fibers.

THE CHALLENGES Improving rPET Quality • Reduce yellowing, improve color and assure IV uniformity Enhancing Bottle Performance • Improve bottle strength, reduce acetaldehyde and minimize thread pulls & blowouts that cause high scrap rates Reducing Carbon Footprint • Reduce energy consumption and raw material usage while driving product efficiencies OUR SOLUTIONS Aligning our work with sustainability demands, we address those challenges for rPET producers, convertors and brand owners alike with technologies to improve both quality and performance, ensuring the recyclability of plastic packaging.

This can help to reduce inventory and can allow the use of general- purpose resin Avient Value-Added Services Avient supports these colorant and additive technologies including: • A focus on sustainability with innovative materials and solutions to help you meet your sustainability goals, including PCR Color Predication Service and Product Footprint Calculator • Leading Color Trend and Design Services - Trend and color insights along with product development assistance from concept through commercialization to optimize design and gain speed to market • Avient Design - A highly specialized group of industrial designers and project engineers that provides advanced design and detailed analysis to foster higher levels of innovation • Application Development and Technical Support - Technical experts specifically trained to work directly with your team to solve definitive application challenges with new or existing approaches • Regulatory Support - Dedicated product stewardship assisting with new product approvals to reduce regulatory overheads and minimize risk • Reliable field technical services and support - Onsite support for tool design, startup, and production optimization to gain manufacturing efficiencies and help resolve technical issues

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.

FLEXCART™ MICRO METERING SYSTEM The FlexCart Micro system is a benchtop version of the FlexCart system, encompassing the control and pumping technology of the larger FlexCart units in a reduced size which is ideal for smaller operations.

ColorMatrix™ Optica™ Global PRT Toner Dispersions Handling and Usage ColorMatrix Optica Global PRT Red and Blue dispersion toners are intended for use primarily in PET bottle polymer production processes and, although they are suitable for all polyester manufacturing processes, are used successfully throughout the world on all types of PET production technologies.

VALUE BENEFITS OF USING FLEXCART™ AND PLANETPAK™ COMPONENTS FlexCart & PlanetPak components offer a market leading metering technology: • Robust and dependable system control • Reliable yield (typically 99% using PlanetPak) and sustainable packaging • Data networking and remote Internet support capabilities • Simplified changeover with interchangeable cassettes of color and additives ATTRIBUTE FLEXCART Footprint (LxW cm) 86 x 71 Controller options 3000/Flex G 5000/6000 Typical max.
