Product Description
CLEARTUF 8006 Polyester Resin is a TPA-based polyethylene terephthalate copolymer resin designed for a wide range of bottle applications. It is a high molecular weight polymer with an 0.80 intrinsic viscosity (IV).
CLEARTUF 8006 Polyester Resin is designed to provide highly desirable container properties. These include high clarity and sparkle, high strength and toughness, and good barrier properties. CLEARTUF 8006 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.
