Product Description
Laser+
®
W PJ002 (F43A) polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin is a copolymer specifically formulated
for conversion to large PET water container applications.
Typical Properties
Bi-orientation of Laser+ ® W PJ002 (F43A) by injection/stretch blow molding provides good barrier and
mechanical properties. It performs exceptionally well in the manufacture of large water containers
where slow crystallization rates and exceptional blow up ratios are important.
Laser+
®
W PJ002 (F43A) is engineered for large water containers use by combining a medium intrinsic
viscosity (IV) and lower melting point, allowing for a gentle injection molding process while maintaining
strength.
Laser+ ® W PJ002 (F43A) offers good heat absorption and processing control for the larger
water container market. A relatively slow crystallization rate enables higher injection molding output.
Certification
Laser+
®
W PJ002 (F43A) 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.
