Currently this material is one of the most rigid plastics and most widely used for a variety of products due to its resistance, transparency and production cost.
We see this material in water bottles, containers for industries (food or pharmaceutical), textiles, signs, etc. Below we will tell you more about what white PET is, its advantages and manufacturing process.
What is White PET?
Polyethylene terephthalate or PET is one of the 4 plastic polymers with which it can be manufactured and processed by different extrusion blow, injection blow or injection molding processes.
Its white color is achieved through treatment and additives used in its production, making it ideal for products where protection of contents through opacity is essential.
It has gained popularity for being the most widely used material, its impact resistance and high temperatures.
Manufacturing Process and Uses of White PET
PET is produced by a chemical combination of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol. It can be processed in various ways, such as injection-blow.
It has a wide range of applications, among which we will find:
- Containers and bottles: It is used in products of bottles for beverages, cleaning products, chemicals and cosmetics. It offers excellent barrier against gases and light.
- Food containers: Its opacity helps protect food from light; this material creates barriers to moisture and allows food to stay fresher.
- Textiles: It is used in the manufacture of fibers for the industry due to its durability.
- Electronic components: Its ability to be molded and resistant to high temperatures makes it useful in the production of housings, wiring and internal circuits.
- Everyday items: We will find toys, kitchen utensils, decoration items…
