Product Description
Melinar® B60 at 0.76 IV is a food grade PET with low acetaldehyde levels, especially formulated for conversion into mineral water bottles to minimise the taste tainting of critical mineral waters.

Melinar® B60 at 0.76 IV gives optimum processing rates at both injection and stretch blow moulding on two-stage and singlestage
machines.

Melinar® B60 is designed to meet the most stringent standards for low acetaldehyde content in preforms, bottles and other containers.
