ColorMatrix AAnchor is a non-ATA-based product with very low levels of migration to support compliance with migratory limits even in closed- loop recycle systems, where risk is highest. With new EU regulations regarding primary aromatic amines (PAAs), ColorMatrix AAnchor offers reduced regulatory risk as it will not form PAAs, unlike other ATA-based solutions. It is compatible with PET bottles formed from an extrusion blow-molded or stretch blow-molded process.

Note to converters: This product is compatible solely with transparent bottles produced in a two- stage injection stretch blow molding process.

The process is easy to implement with traditional packaging polymers using standard stretch blow molding machinery. The additive creates tiny bubbles inside the semi-crystalline resins which, when stretched during blow molding, reflect light and shine for a high gloss, metallic appearance.

Next, the heated rPET is stretched into long thin cables, cooled, and chopped into pellets. However, when recycled bottles are not high enough quality to transform into new bottles or packaging, rPET can be washed, heated, and stretched into fiber to create polyester yarn and fabric. Manufacturers using rPET require different properties based on their specific application, such as certain colors, stiffness and strength.

The three processes utilized in the production of PET fiber are polymerization, melt-spinning, and drawing or hot stretching the fibers based upon their elongation requirements.
