Product Description
Laser+
®
C 4800 (B66A) is a unique copolymer particularly suited for use in the custom PET reusable,
bulk container applications where clarity in thicker performs is desired. It is a higher intrinsic viscosity
(IV) product that gives the end user a strong clear bottle and offers excellent processing and the ability
to use higher content of retired containers.
Typical Properties
Bi-orientation of Laser+
®
C 4800 (B66A) by injection/stretch blow molding provides optimal barrier and
mechanical properties, including excellent vacuum performance.
Laser+
®
C 4800 (B66A) offers excellent clarity and good color, while maintaining 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 4800 (B66A) 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.
