vPET for food packaging

vPET for food packaging

Virgin PET (vPET) is produced from monomers derived from oil or renewable raw materials. The POLYMETRIX solid state polycondensation technology (SSP) is the final step in the process chain. In this process, PET is refined to fulfill the demanding quality and safety requirements for food packaging.

vPET pellets produced with SSP process technology are processed into PET bottles for all major beverage companies with their numerous international and regional brands. The purity of the materials complies with all national and regional regulations for food packaging, e.g. FDA and EFSA.

SSP treatment ensures the specified PET quality for for each individual type of bottle. The SSP technology can process PET with various comonomers and comonomer concentrations. The vPET pellets from POLYMETRIX SSP plants are essentially characterized by precise and constant viscosity, low residual content of acetaldehyde, dust and oligomers, and optimal processing characteristics for injection molding of preforms.

vPET is mainly used for food bottles, but is also used for the production of food cups, films for thermoforming or bottles for non-food applications.
