Product Description
ARTENIUS DESIGN PLUS is a PET in pellets especially designed for complex thermoforming with the tailored characteristics of high IV/high melt strength and a very slow crystallization rate/high clarity and light transmission in very thick wall sections. Suitable for thick sheet extrusion up to approximately 9 mm thickness with high light transmission and a neutral colour tone. Films produced with Artenius design+ have enhanced sealing capabilities.
