Meeting the growing needs of worldwide bottlers and packaging companies for PET Resin - with a consistent high quality, the best technical expertise and a broad range of sustainable product offerings are the foundation of Alpek Polyester. For PET Resin, Alpek Polyester leads the way with fast blowing resins sold under its Laser+® brand. Its range meets the current and future needs of high-speed injection systems and filling lines without any fear of preforms suffering from a lack of uniform material distribution. Laser+® resins reduce potential production loses from being eroded by higher energy costs due to lower drying properties and optimal operating temperatures. Suitable for a wide range of applications, such as hot and cold beverage packaging, food packaging, pharmaceuticals, disinfectants, and also offering a range of single pellet technology (SPT®) solutions with up to 25% rPETcontent. PET resins from Alpek Polyester and OCTAL offer exceptional performance as well as gloss, clarity, and consistency across all grades. The common industry challenges are addressed via its tireless focus on innovation, safety, and collaboration. Alpek Polyester PET Resin features and benefits at a glance: HIGH SPEED BLOWING/FILLING FOR WATER - RH GRADES: - Reheat grades designed for the beverage industry s high-speed blowing lines - Reheat additives have minimum impact on colour value - Approved for food contact applications by all major brands - Tested for line speeds of up to 1,00,000 BPH - Enhanced mechanical strength and top load results - even with IV retention properties MTR BENEFITS - LOW AA & DOWNSTREAM ENERGY SAVINGS: - Low processing temperatures and superior moulding compatibility - Enhanced product quality performance that meets regulatory requirements even at lowest AA level in class - Lower crystallinity ensures better drying condition and ultimately lower energy consumption in overall moulding process. Also easy formation of intricate shapes during blowing OTHER ADVANTAGES: - Overall moulding condition is easy to process - Low cycle time due to faster cooling rate - Fewer fines means trouble free drying in terms of less filter cleaning downtime and better cleanliness on the production floor. Lower drying time also means greater energy efficiency - Reduced downtime due to lower mould deposition and vent blockage. This ultimately leads to more uptime and longer mould life cycles. SPECIAL GRADES AND WIDE PRODUCT RANGE: - Hot fill and sheet grades available for specialised products - Proven product performance at high filling temperatures. The process also benefits from hot fill grades and fast reheat - Extensive product basket with a wide range of grade for applications from carpet grades to refillables for CSD beverages. - Availability of rPET with Single Pellet Technology (SPT ®) meets regulatory requirements - Strong technical support for customers in terms of process, regulatory/audit requirements. Fast response to enquiries and queries optimizes customer experience.

OCTAL s patented Direct-to-Sheet manufacturing process produces the first ever PET Sheet directly from PET melt resin. By removing five energy intensive stages from the conventional sheet production process (pelletising, SSP, compacting, drying, and extruding), OCTAL further enhances its Sheet footprint with in-line depolymerisation to meet the growing environmental and sustainability objectives of Retailers, Brand Owners and evolving Governmental Legislation without any compromise to quality or performance. OCTAL is changing the game with regards to circularity in the packaging industry with its next generation rDPET® incorporating Post Consumer Waste (PCW) and Post Industrial Waste (PIW) content, using its directly integrated depolymerisation technology. Evolving to meet the growing sustainability demands of consumers and brand owners alike, it allows for the inclusion of PCW and PIW utilizing directly integrated depolymerization unzipping PET waste and rebuilding it as a new polymer into its sheet without compromising performance attributes that are typically degraded in traditional mechanical recycling processes. DPET® Product Features: For thermoformers, RDPET® offers a recyclable version of DPET® with: Identical processing advantages that runs faster and with less wastage than traditionally extruded sheet. Unmatched consistency and precise thickness control that delivers improved material distribution in the forming process, allowing for 3%-8% improved material flow to the most critical areas of the part. This provides the opportunity to reduce gauge typically by 5%-10% while maintaining pack integrity. For Designers it means: The creative freedom to craft brave customised packaging with startling optics The reassurance that DPET® and rDPET® containers can be produced from the lightest possible calliper sheet whilst retaining strength and precise definition. For Brand and Retail Partners: Working with the world s biggest, best-known, and most respected manufacturer means PET sheet packaging options are limited only by design and imagination, whilst delivering true product circularity back to PET s original attributes time after time without compromising quality or performance. This ground-breaking rDPET® product proves that depolymerization works, is commercially available and allows the ability to economically return Post-Consumer and Post-Industrial waste back to its original form of new PET sheet time and time again without degradation of its mechanical or optical properties. Not only does the process allow for the highest of sheet quality but also further enhances its reuse potential with attributes similar to virgin resin if reprocessed again by traditional extrusion means.
