TintMask®

Making Recycled Pet More Re-usable

While virgin chips are clear, recycled ones come in a variety of color grades and corresponding prices. These color differences are caused by remainders from their first life impacting the recycled material. The clearer the recycled plastic is, the higher the price – to the point where high quality rPET is often more expensive than virgin PET. 

TintMask® can neutralize the color cast of discolored rPET. TintMask® is based on the principle of ‘opposite colors’. We use a customized colorant formulation to neutralize or mask the yellow or greenish tint found in discolored rPET and turn it into a higher valued shade more easily accepted by the market. 

TintMask® colorants will not migrate or sublimate in a high vacuum process and they are available in liquid and solid formats. Our TintMask® products have been designed for use in PET and are in regulatory compliance with EU and FDA directives.
