Phthalates in plastics - knowing the facts Plastic Piping System Flapper Valve - Case Study Spirit Bottle Caps

Millions of improperly discarded plastic bottles are finding their way into our waterways and oceans, rather than into proper recycle streams. PolyOne has developed additives that reduce the amount of plastic needed to make the bottle, as well as SMARTHEAT™ INFRARED ABSORBERS—additives that reduce the amount of energy required during bottle manufacture. Bottles for carbonated drinks require more strength when compared to bottles for still beverages.

SmartHeat RHC is APR accredited for both Critical Guidance and Bottle-to-Bottle, and is EPBP approved. SmartHeat RHC allows for optimization of polymer weight distribution within the PET bottle. IMPROVED BOTTLE QUALITY +2% in neck +3% in body -12% in base 8.5g 0.5L bottle, 60% rPET Polymer Weight Distribution Based on commercially produced water bottles, 51,000bph Mechanical Strength Based on PTI 14.4g 0.5L water bottles, Instron testing To p Lo ad (l bs ) Burst Pressure Based on 8.5g, 0.5L commercially produced water bottles Bu rs t P re ss ur e (B ar ) REDUCED CO2 EMISSIONS Based on a commercial process producing 8.5g 0.5L water bottles as 51,000bph 25% reduction in energy consumed during the bottle blowing process En er gy k W Reduce Energy Consumption SmartHeat RHC increases the heat-up rate for preforms, enabling energy reductions for the heating lamps used during the bottle blowing process.

It enables: • Increased rPET content • Reduced CO2 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.
