These composites also deliver better flow
characteristics at high fiber content levels, which
eases filling thin wall sections or long flow lengths.
LONG GLASS FIBER SURFACE
AESTHETICS
Good surface cosmetics with glass fiber
reinforced nylons are difficult to obtain
without high mold temperatures that
lengthen cycle times.

Polypropylene (PP) carriers are recommended for the harder SEBS formulations.
PP carrier is not recommended for softer grades, as the formulation hardness will be affected.

This helps make APET food packaging
suitable for a wider range of applications, including
hot steam sterilization, hot fill, and microwave use.
The PET packaging market is experiencing
significant growth, driven by increasing
sustainability demands, higher recycling targets,
and the shift away from alternative materials
such as polystyrene (PS) or polypropylene (PP).
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
• Thermoformed, APET food packaging, including:
- Hot steam sterilization
- Hot fill
- Microwave use
• Polyester
• Sheet extrusion & thermoforming
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Suitable for hot steam sterilization, hot fill, and
microwave applications
• Ideal for food-grade containers with high rigidity
and improved gas barrier
• Can withstand temperatures up to 100°C
• Available in both transparent and opaque
options
• Processable on existing thermoforming lines
with heated molds
KEY BENEFITS
• A fully circular monomaterial, up to 100% rPET
polymer content
• Promotion of the circularity of PET and the
resulting packaging is possible
• Helps customers to comply with the Packaging
and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) that
demands recyclability of all packaging with
binding PCR content targets by 2030
• Demonstrates improved productivity in
comparison to CPET during thermoforming
• Helps avoid possible EPR fees or penalties on
difficult-to-recycle packaging
