Product Description
CLEARTUF MAX Polyester Resin is designed with enhanced ability to absorb energy from the near infrared lamps used in most high-speed blow molding machines. The enhanced energy absorption can result in improved temperature control in the process, which in turn can lead to improved material distribution and bottle properties. This improvement may also lead to improved machine output or reduced energy consumption. It is a high molecular weight polymer with a 0.84 intrinsic viscosity (IV).
CLEARTUF MAX Polyester Resin is the latest generation heat up grade designed to provide highly desirable container properties. These include high clarity and sparkle, high strength and toughness, and good barrier properties.
