PET bottle resins

This market survey presents suppliers of PET resins for the manufacture of preforms and bottles. The table shows the companies' ranges of bottle grade PET for different specifications:

• IV range applications (water, CSD, beer, wine/liquors, personal care/pharmaceuticals)
• PET resins with slow crystallization, resins for hot-fill applications, pre-coloured resins, fast reheat products.
• For the different challenges of protection of sensitive products, increased barrier properties of PET resin are being offered by some of the suppliers.
• With increasing demand for bottle grade rPET, some of the suppliers offer rPET blends, which are also listed in the table.
