Overview

PET(Polyethylene Terephthalate) resin is used to make PET bottles that are rapidly replacing the previous glass bottles and aluminum cans as food and beverage containers because they are safe, transparent, reliable, chemical-resistant, light, easily moldable and economical. According to the condition of polymerization and amount of additives, there are three types of resins : resins for the containers of bottled water and medicine, resins for soda bottles, and resins for bottles of fruit drinks, ionized beverage and tea. PET bottles come in various colors and designs. The development of new products such as PET beer bottles is under way.

PET is a raw materials of audio/video magnetic tape and food packaging film. Compared to other types of films, they are more transparent, reliable in a high temperature, stronger and thinner. Their even thickness makes the products ideal for later processing such as laminating, printing and coating. So they are often used to make graphic and magnetic films. Their high safety standard is also recognized in food packaging.

PET is also made into PET fiber through spinning process in a high temperature. According to the amount of polymerization additives, there are full dull(FD), semi-dull(SD), bright(BRT) and super bright(S-BRT) resins. PET fiber is divided into filament and staple fiber according to the length. Filament is either knitted or woven to make garment, and staple fiber is used to make cotton textiles, non-woven and vibration absorbers.
