Eastman Chemical Corporation, the world's largest producer of PET resin for packaging, launched a product of the specification Aqualor PET, which is the first and only PET material that can withstand hydrostatic loading and can be reheated. Aqualor PET was launched at the PETnology trade fair in Munich, Germany. The main focus is on the European market. It shows great energy efficiency in preform and preform production, enhanced product protection and an unprecedented appearance.
Aqualor Pet Resin greatly improves pre-finished and preform processing, while also producing exceptional preform clarity and gloss and precision in printed content.
Roland Leimbacher, Marketing Manager for Eastman Europe Functional Polymers, said: “Preform manufacturers, pre-manufacturers and trademark owners can all benefit from Eastman's Aqualor PET resin. Our new resins are actually improving end-use applications. At the same time as appearance and performance, molding is faster and Pvc Resin cheaper. This is another example of Eastman's creativity in operation."
For pre-finished and preform manufacturers, the economic benefits of Aqualor processing can be increased with faster flow rates and lower energy consumption. For blow-molded bottles, the energy required for reheating Pet Resin Iv0.80 can be reduced to 30%; also, its value is 0.72. IV Low viscosity not only guarantees the fastest injection speed and Rubber And Plastic long-term life of preform molding, but also ensures preforms The best accuracy of printed content (embossed or embossed).
Improve brand appeal
The most noteworthy of Aqualor is the PET bottle designed to withstand hydrostatic loads with the highest brilliance and clarity. While other reheatable resins often produce unattractive haze, Aqualor PET can produce very good bottlenecks and sidewall sharpness, which is the key to improving shelf appeal and brand image.
Aqualor's easy-to-mold and consistent reheat levels guarantee the latest in Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate reduced wall thickness designs as well as complex preform shapes. At the same time, it can also ensure that the surface content of the printed content and icon of the plastic bottle of the embossed or carved decoration can reach the top level.
Protection products
Aqualor PET guarantees excellent product protection and guarantees long-term shelf life. Plastic bottles processed with low AA Aqualor PET have low AA (acetaldehyde) content and have a good barrier against carbon dioxide loss and the entry of oxygen and other undesirable substances. Leimbacher added: “Eastman scientists work closely with key decision makers throughout the PET value chain. Meeting the processing needs of processors and the market needs of brand owners is a challenge that Eastman will continue to meet. ."
