Chip size <2.0 g/100 chips. Crystallinity > 50%.1101R PET is a copolymer packaging resin with a nominal intrinsic viscosity of 0.83 dl/g. Packaging made from this resin has excellent clarity and is noted for its dimensional stability, which prevents shrinkage and expansion of the container. 1101R is used successfully in carbonated soft drink bottles and other applications such as food containers and packaging for household goods. This resin complies with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act for certain food contact applications. 1101R offers excellent performance in maximum throughput, stretch-blow molding applications. Preforms made from 1101R allow maximum blowing throughputs by quickly heating the infrared (IR) ovens. In addition, bottles made from 1101R are low-stick, which eases handling issues. Containers made from PET are lightweight, have excellent clarity, and are shatterproof. With the important advantage of being totally recyclable, PET is becoming the packaging resin of choice.
