But why PET is so popular nowadays, what makes many companies choose it?
In this blog we will give you some information that can help clarify these doubts.
We will start by giving a technical review about PET.
PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) is a plastic polymer obtained through a polymerization process of terephthalic acid and monoethylene glycol. It is a linear polymer, with a high degree of crystallinity and thermoplastic behavior, which makes it ideal to be transformed by extrusion, injection, injection-blowing and thermoforming processes.
What are its characteristics?
The physical properties of PET and its ability to meet various technical specifications have been the reasons why the material has reached a relevant development in the production of a great diversity of containers and packaging, especially in the production of bottles, demijohns, trays, strapping and sheets.
The use of PET plastic containers guarantees the safe preservation of the product they contain, as it is a harmless material.
PET has contributed to promote the evolution of different containers, among them, PET bottles for purified water for human consumption, due to all the advantages offered by this material for their development.
Grupo Arcoiris manufactures, under the highest quality standards and FDA approved resins, 3 and 5 gallons PET bottles. We have the latest technology in the market to manufacture PET bottles.
