In today’s world, polymers are widely used in numerous areas with an increasing rate PET is produced with the polymerization of Monoethylen glycol with Terepthalic acid. Polyethilen terefthalic has a wide array of usage. In the textile sector, it is used as raw material (PET CHIPS TEXTILE GRADE) while in food sector, it is used as bottle caps (PET CHIPS BOTTLE GRADE) in various sizes in spring water, beverages, fruit juice and vegetable oil bottles. In recent years, there exists an increasing trend in board applications of PET.
PET Chips, also known as Polyester Chips or Polyethylene Terephthalate Chips is the base of any type of plastics & polymer. Depending on the processing, PET may exist both as an amorphous (transparent) commonly known as Bright or Super Bright Chips and as a semi-crystalline material commonly known as PET Semi-Dull Chips.
PET Chips are also used to make PET Film. High quality chips without Silica & CiO2 contents are used to make PET Film. Whereas another type of Chips variant is Bottle grade chips used in making different types of plastic bottles depending on the Intrinsic Viscosity. Mainly PET Chips are categorised into three grades – Textile grade, Bottle grade and Film grade.
