PET — Polyethylene Terephthalate
PET resin supplied to a declared intrinsic viscosity. IV is the single parameter that decides whether a grade will work on your line — it drives melt strength, preform quality and bottle wall distribution.
Grade families
| Family | Character | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Water bottle grade | Lower IV, faster cycle | Still water, non-pressurised bottles |
| Carbonated drink grade | Higher IV, pressure resistance | CSD bottles, beer |
| Hot-fill grade | Heat-set, dimensional stability | Juice, tea, sauces |
| Fibre grade | Semi-dull or bright | Staple fibre, filament yarn |
| Sheet / film grade | Thermoformable | Trays, blister packaging |
