GUANGZHOU, China – ColorMatrix, a subsidiary of PolyOne Corporation and a global leader in liquid color and additives for plastics, today launched AmosorbT Plus, a high-performance oxygen scavenging solution for PET packaging. AmosorbT Plus offers enhanced container clarity to help customers achieve aesthetic and recyclability goals.

"AmosorbT Plus offers customers the proven protection they have come to expect from AmosorbT, with improved aesthetics, superior optical clarity and reduced haze for enhanced recyclability."
Because it is based on a previously approved technology, AmosorbT Plus does not require the complex regulatory approval procedures of a completely new material, allowing customers to improve speed to market while also enhancing performance.
AmosorbT Plus is a crystallized PET-based concentrate with a built-in catalyst to promote oxidation. It offers product protection for non-carbonated foods and beverages for up to six months or longer, depending on the container design.
