PET
Polyethylene Terephthalate
Bottle and fibre grade PET resin supplied by intrinsic viscosity band.
01 Overview
PET is bought on intrinsic viscosity: bottle-grade material sits in the 0.76–0.84 dl/g band, while fibre and film grades run lower. Acetaldehyde content is the second critical parameter for water and beverage applications, where residual AA carries directly into taste.

07 Supply & export note
Bottle-grade PET is supplied with the producer’s IV, AA and colour certificate. Because PET is hygroscopic, we specify moisture-barrier packing on all sea movements and confirm the container liner arrangement before loading.
