NEXAMITE® M021200: IV enhancer for PET and rPET

Restore IV and process stability in recycled PET

NEXAMITE® M021200 is a reactive IV enhancer for PET and recycled PET sheets, films, thermoformed packaging, and staple or carpet fibers. It helps rebuild polymer performance during processing, supporting melt strength, process stability, higher recycled content, and increased internal regrind.

Nexam Chemical states that M021200 delivers efficient IV increase at low addition levels and supports higher rPET and internal regrind use under suitable material and process conditions. The product is presented as an epoxy-free formulation. Final addition level and performance must be validated against the feedstock, starting IV, process, and end-use specification.

Key benefits

  • Helps deliver efficient IV increase at low addition levels.
  • Supports melt strength, sheet stability and process consistency.
  • Helps reduce brittleness in thermoformed products.
  • Can support higher rPET and internal regrind use; Nexam indicates up to 100% rPET is possible in suitable systems.
  • Designed to be applied on existing PET processing equipment.
  • The Nexam Chemical product page states EFSA and FDA food-contact information and an epoxy-free formulation; current documentation must be verified for the target market.

Typical applications

  • aPET, cPET and foamed PET thermoformed trays and containers
  • PET/rPET sheet and film extrusion
  • Staple fiber and carpet fiber production
  • PET/rPET foam sheet and panel processes

Technical assessment note

Do not fix dosage, starting IV, target IV or the process window on this page. Build a technical trial plan together with feedstock type, moisture management, line configuration and final performance targets. Keep the current declaration of compliance and conditions of use on file for food contact.

Frequently asked questions

What is M021200 used for?
To improve IV and process performance in PET/rPET sheet, film, thermoformed packaging, and staple and carpet fibers.
Is 100% rPET possible?
Nexam Chemical states that up to 100% rPET can be supported in suitable applications; the result depends on input material, target and process validation.
Does it replace SSP?
Nexam states that IV enhancers can reduce or, in suitable validated applications, eliminate the need for SSP. A trial is required for every line.
What is the dosage?
No single universal dose is recommended on the public page. Dosage must be defined by the technical team based on starting IV and target performance.

The technical statements on this page are based on the manufacturer’s current public product information. Dosage, temperature and performance targets are defined per line through technical trial.
