Material Notes:
LIGHTER™ resins are polyethylene terephthalate produced from PTA and MEG. These polymers are specifically designed for the production of beverage, food and other liquid containers and for thermoforming. LIGHTER™ C88 is particularly suitable for bottling mineral water since it was designed to minimize the formation of acetaldehyde. In general this grade is recommended for bottles for both still and carbonated mineral water. It is also suitable for the production of extruded thermo formable sheets.Information provided by Dow
