Product type
Bottle grade PET resin is a type of thermoplastic polymer primarily used in the production of plastic bottles and containers. It is made from polyethylene terephthalate, which is a polymer formed through the reaction of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. This resin is known for its excellent clarity, strength, and resistance to impact, making it ideal for packaging applications. Additionally, it is lightweight and recyclable, contributing to its popularity in the beverage and food industries.
| Material | Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) |
| Melt Flow Rate | 0.5 to 5 g/10 min |
| Intrinsic Viscosity | 0.70 to 0.85 dL/g |
| Color | Clear to slightly amber |
| Density | 1.38 to 1.40 g/cm³ |
| Processing Temperature | 240 to 280 °C |
When selecting bottle grade PET resin, consider the specific application requirements such as clarity, strength, and processing conditions. It is important to specify the desired melt flow rate and intrinsic viscosity to ensure compatibility with manufacturing processes. Additionally, inquire about any necessary certifications for food safety or recycling standards, and provide estimated quantities for accurate pricing.
