Product Description
RAMAPET N2 is a food grade PET copolymer resin that is designed especially for water applications. The resin can be processed at low temperatures and allow faster cycle times on injection molding. The resin offers excellent clarity, color, good strength characteristics and a low acetaldehyde content to help minimize impact on aroma and flavor.
Suitable for still water, edible oil and miscellaneous container applications.
