Product Description
CLEARTUF TURBO II Polyester Resin is a TPA-based polyethylene terephthalate copolymer resin specially designed for use in producing bottles for the mineral water market. It is a low molecular weight polymer with a 0.74 intrinsic viscosity (IV).
CLEARTUF TURBO II Polyester Resin is designed to provide highly desirable container properties, including clarity, sparkle, and good color. CLEARTUF TURBO II Polyester Resin is designed with a special catalyst and stabilizer system that offers property retention during processing. This superior stability also enables use of the required drying conditions without affecting color or molecular weight. CLEARTUF TURBO II Polyester Resin also can be processed at lower temperatures compared to other typical bottle grades.
