The Avient ColorMatrix Amosorb Oxyloop-1 has been added to the brand's namesake ColorMatrix Amosorb range as a recycling enhancer additive that will scavenge oxygen to accommodate better performance. The additive is formulated with recycled PET (rPET) in mind and is EPBP accredited when it comes to bottle-to-bottled recycling of colored material. The additive is optimal for use with juices, oxygen-sensitive drinks and a variety of ready-to-drink (RTD) teas, while also working well for certain dairy products.
Global Product Platform Manager Dr. Antonello Decorates commented on the Avient ColorMatrix Amosorb Oxyloop-1 saying, "We are thrilled to introduce the ColorMatrix Amosorb Oxyloop-1 grade to the market. This new Oxyloop technology represents a significant step forward in our commitment to sustainability and circularity. By enhancing the recyclability of PET packaging, we are helping brand owners and converters achieve their sustainability goals and reduce their environmental impact."
