It enables:
• Increased rPET content
• Reduced CO
2
emissions
When added to PET preforms and bottles,
ColorMatrix AAzure helps to:
• Improve bottle quality
- Reduced preform acetaldehyde
by up to 80%
- Improved mechanical strength
- Lightweighting
• Improve processability
- Reduced bottle blowouts
- Reduced scrap
- Improved productivity
• Reduce energy consumption during
bottle blowing process
ColorMatrix AAzure has a slight blue tint, which is
useful for off-setting yellowing often associated
with the use of rPET, and has minimal impact on
final product color or aesthetics.
ColorMatrix AAzure can help to
reduce the risk of off-taste by reducing
preform AA levels by up to 80%.
Care must be taken to optimize the bottle
blowing process due to the increased heat-
up rate of the preform, to take advantage
of the many benefits offered by this
product range.
