GRADES AND SELECTION CRITERIA
PET — application routes
Variants to distinguish
Bottle gradesGrades for preforms and bottles with intrinsic viscosity and processability suited to the process.
Sheet / thermoformingGrades for sheet and thermoforming according to transparency, impact and packaging requirements.
Fibre gradesRoutes for fibres and filaments with specific processing requirements.
Speciality gradesThe family may include modified or recycled grades when the project and availability allow.
What we review before proposing a grade
- IV
- crystallisation
- drying
- acetaldehyde / process where applicable
- food contact and recycling
Origin and producer are selected according to grade, availability, logistics and qualification.
