Product Description
REPETE MAX Polyester Resin is a TPA-based polyethylene terephthalate copolymer resin targeted to have an average of 10 percent post-consumer recycle (PCR) content. It is a high molecular weight polymer with a 0.84 intrinsic viscosity (IV).
REPETE 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.
REPETE MAX Polyester Resin is the latest generation heat up graded designed to provide highly desirable container properties. These include high clarity and sparkle, high strength and toughness, and good barrier properties.
