SG02 is specifically designed for APET sheet applications of thickness below 1.2mm. SG02 provides higher heat strength, mechanical properties and dimensional stability in low stretch environment typical in thermoforming. Low crystallinity and heat of fusion, ensures energy saving in sheet extrusion. 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 SG 02 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.
