Performance characteristics of PET are:

• Excellent transparency - its clarity enhances the presentation values of a product.
• Tasteless - satisfying very strict regulations for packaging food and drink.
• Lighter weight - improving margins through better transportation utilization and economics for the whole value chain (lower fuel consumption, reduced noise and pollution).
• Outstanding processability - allows it to be processed reliably at high speeds.
• Good impact resistance - strong and practically unbreakable.
• Protective barrier in both directions - acts as an effective barrier for oxygen and carbon dioxide (for sparkling beverages).
• Design freedom - features great design flexibility.
• 100% recyclability - can be recycled for other applications using a variety of recycling procedures.
