OCTAL SG 04 is suitable for a variety of applications including carbonated soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, edible oils, pharmaceutical containers and also APET sheet. The resin is designed and engineered to provide high dimensional strength and mechanical properties. Low crystallinity and heat of fusion of the resin, provides unique advantages of low residual acetaldehyde generation in injection molding and also lower energy for conversion into bottles. 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 04 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.
