And finally, the MRS extruder will help to stabilise and control the viscosity. By combining these technologies we were able to produce an extrudable PET sheet that can be formed in a CPET pro- cess. Oven testing at 200°C for 20 minutes did proof that the CPET tray would resists temperature conditions of conventional ovens up to 200°C. That is the proof we have been looking for, to make tray to tray recycling pos- sible even for CPET menu tray applications.” Sukano offers a full portfolio of additive and colour masterbatches to enable the use of rPET in various applications. The Sukano Melt Enhancer Masterbatches recover the rPET original proper- ties, allowing a higher rPET content. One of the latest innovation is the transpar- ent impact modifier for cold, flash frozen and room temperature applications, which can replace special- ised co-polyester resins with recycled or virgin PET resin that is modified with a new masterbatch, allowing the end application to be monomaterial, and recy- clable. Apart from the high performance cristalliser mentioned in this project, the company offers not only NIR detectable black but also a full colour portfolio formulated to be detected by sorting machines. And to technically prove that also white opaque PET bottles from recycled materials is possible with the same throughput and without contaminating the recy- cling stream, the company teamed up with another industry leader and prov- dided a formulated mon- olayer PET white bottles masterbatch.
