Product Description
COBITER 80 resin is a food grade PET copolymer based on terephthalic acid. Its high clarity and sparkle make it well suited for the production of bottles and other containers by conventional single and two stage processing machines. It is a medium molecular weight polymer mainly offered for the manufacture of soft drinks, edible and mineral oils, sauces and vinegar containers. COBITER 80 is also recommended for cosmetic packaging (for example shampoo).
