Introduction:
PET Bottles are used to packing of Edible oils, jams and sauces, Butter, syrups,
Drinking water etc having the capacity from 500ml to 2 liters. PET resin are
extruded and converted to pre-forms and later molding is done to make the PET
Bottles by using the pre-forms.
Major application areas of PET bottles are carbonated soft drinks, Mineral water
packing, Syrups, Edible oil packing, Butter and Mayonnaise, Wine, Liquor and
spirit packing, Sauce, jam and squashes packaging, Agro chemical packaging
and house hold containers
Market:
Pet bottles are replacing glass bottles because of the high rate of breakage and the
inconvenience of returning the empty bottle after consumption.
The consumption pattern is tending to converge with the international patterns
and this is how new categories such as sports drinks, juices and non-returnable
(PET bottles and cans) are catching up in the local market.
Raw Material:
The raw material used in manufacturing of PET Bottles/ Preforms is
Polyethylene Teraphthalate. Polyethylene tetra phthalate is a polymer that is
formed by combining two monomers called modified ethylene glycol and
purified teraphthalic acid
