VERONA, Italy (ICIS)–Senior editor Caroline Murray talks to Marco Piscitelli of International Gate about the challenges faced by the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) industry.
PET resins can be broadly classified into bottle, fibre or film grade, named according to the downstream applications. Bottle grade resin is the most commonly traded form of PET resin and it is used in bottle and container packaging through blow moulding and thermoforming.
Fibre grade resin goes into making polyester fibre, while film grade resin is used in electrical and flexible packaging applications. PET can be compounded with glass fibre for the production of engineering plastics.
