DAK Americas Laser+® C (C60A) PET
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyester, TP; Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET); Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Unreinforced

Material Notes: Product Description: Laser+® C (C60A) is a unique copolymer particularly suited for use in the custom PET container applications where clarity and neutral colored are desired. It is a medium intrinsic viscosity (IV) product that gives the end user a strong clear bottle and offers excellent processing and consistency.

Typical Properties: Bi-orientation of Laser+® C (C60A) by injection/stretch blow molding provides optimal barrier and mechanical properties, including excellent vacuum performance. It performs well in both single- and two-stage processes used in the manufacturing of PET containers. Laser+® C (C60A) offers excellent clarity and color, while maintaining good reheat characteristics for stretch blow molding. In addition, because it is a copolymer resin, it offers reduced crystallization rates and a wide processing window.

Certification: Laser+® C (C60A) is ideally suited for food packaging applications and is considered in compliance with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Food Contact Notification (FCN) 000635, covering PET polymers.
