PREFORM PRODUCTION 15 PETplanet Insider Vol. 24 of the insert is made of microchannels generating a well-defined friction when the polymer passes through the hot runner into the preform mould. Higher level of order of the molecules improve the overall material functionality and can be advantageous for barrier applications – the ordered morphologies can act as an obstacle that delays the gasses permeation. As a result, also less material is required. Keiryo are running trials in PDG’s industrial facility as technology partner. PDG is still in the process of fully scoping these differences, but the demonstration that morphological changes are carried over in the bottle is an important milestone. PDG Plastiques is ISO 22000 FSSC certificated.
