It's a wrap: PET resin for beverage, food packaging

DAK Americas has introduced Laser+ HS PET (polyethylene terephthalate) resin for use in hot-fill PET beverage and food packaging applications. Laser+ HS PET is said to offer improved hot-fill performance due to its higher glass transition temperature, increased sidewall crystallinity and higher vacuum resistance. The high inherent polymer strength of Laser+ HS PET resin enhances container integrity and allows for lightweight packaging. Laser+ HS offers competitive injection cycle times and fast, consistent reheat properties required by high-speed blowmolding equipment.
