OCTAL RH 01 is specifically designed for the water container market, requiring easy processing and low residual acetaldehyde. Low crystallinity and heat of fusion of the resin, provides unique advantages of low residual acetaldehyde generation in injection molding as well as lower energy for conversion into bottles. OCTAL PET RH 01’s unique formula, quickens the IR absorption in the oven of reheat blow molding systems and reduces the heating time in the blowing process, thus saving energy. The improved heat absorption and heat retention also optimizes the flow of polymer into intricate sections of the blow mold allowing replication of fine designs of the mold. The spherical pellets of the resin ensures smooth conveying in long pipelines with near zero fines generation. The uniform spherical surface allows for easy flow of air around the PET pellets and helps in consistent drying at lower temperatures, saving valuable energy.
OCTAL PET RH 01 copolymer resin is considered safe for food packaging applications based on all compliance to USA FDA regulation CFR 21 section 177.1630, EU regulation 10/2011, EC Directive 94/62/EC and the CONEG regulations (USA/CANADA) for heavy metal content.
