A challenge faced when coloring PCR resins include recyclate materials with an undertone or opacity that can restrict color options in PET, rPET and rPP. A NEW PCR COLORATION TOOL Avient has developed a digital tool to help assess the impact of colored, recycled resins (PCR) prior to laboratory trials. It can be utilized on a colored resin of any given shade, and aims to decrease complexity when different grades of PCR are used.
