PET White Masterbatch
Composition, Properties, and Benefits
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a common polyester plastic made by combining ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid into long chains. Its repeating unit (–O–CH₂–CH₂–O–CO–C₆H₄–CO–) has the chemical formula (C₁₀H₈O₄)ₙ.PET is a strong, stiff polymer with excellent chemical resistance and very low moisture absorption. It melts above 250 °C, which allows PET bottles and films to be heat-formed and filled. In practice, PET is widely used for clear bottles, packaging films, and polyester fibers ; about 30% of all PET goes into beverage bottles . These properties make PET ideal for packaging, but sometimes a white, opaque finish is desired instead of a clear one.
