polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin is a copolymer formulated for conversion to
PET bottles by conventional single or two-stage processing technology.
W (L40A) by injection/stretch blow molding provides optimal barrier and
mechanical properties, including superior stress crack resistance. It performs exceptionally well in the
manufacture of water bottles where heat up rate and temperature profile through the wall are important.
