SKYPET® BR is a semi-crystalline copolyester grade with excellent transparency, chemical resistance, and processability. Due to its slower crystallization rate compared to a regular PET, BR is suited for making thicker products for variety of applications through injection, stretch blow molding, and sheet extrusion processing. SKYPET® BR does not contain Bisphenol derivatives (BPA, etc.) and Phthalate-based plasticizer components regulated by the EU RoHS regulations. It also meets the requirements for food contact materials in Korea, the US, Europe, China, and Japan. Applications: 5-gallon mineral water bottles. Containers for cosmetics. Sheet (outer packing and wrapping materials): excellent thermoforming, enabling deep draw. Thickness of thermoforming, 5 or 6 mm. Returnable bottles. Attributes: Not easily crystallized compared to SKYPET BB and SKYPET BL. More easily applicable when forming thick materials compared to SKYPET BB and SKYPET BL. Transparency is ensured Requires lower temperature for formation than SKPET BB and SKYPET BL. Minimal occurrence of byproducts, such acetaldehyde. Information provided by SK Chemicals |
