Polyethylene Terephthalate: Overview

Polyethylene Terephthalate, also termed as PETE or PET, is a polymer or plastic resin which is widely used in various end-use industries such as food & beverage, packaging, automotive, textiles, etc. There are 2 types of polyethylene terephthalate available currently, virgin and recycled. The virgin is used for blister forming, automotive, food packaging, and others. The recycled one is used for fiber, strapping, sheet and film, food & beverage bottles, non-food bottles, engineered resin, and others.

Polyethylene Terephthalate Market: Driving and Hindering Factors

Growing demand for packed food, frozen food, and carbonated beverages, bottled water and juices, coupled with adoption of recycled PET containers is anticipated to fuel market revenue growth. In addition, increasing need for PET-based packaging in the rapidly growing packaging industry and medical industry is another factor resulting in higher demand for PET, thereby propelling target market growth. Moreover, increasing production and sales of automobiles across the world and constantly rising demand for electrical and electronics by consumers is leading to higher adoption of polyethylene terephthalate.

Unfavorable regulations by the government concerning environmental emissions is a major factor that could hinder market growth. In addition, easy availability of substitutes and growing number of rules to ban plastic products in various countries are factors that could affect market growth in developed as well as developing countries.

Investments by major players in R&D activities in order to develop and launch innovative products using less hazardous PET materials such as bio-based PET is an ongoing trend that is estimated to offer revenue growth opportunities to companies in the near future.

Current Assignee: Dow Global Technologies LLC

Patent Number: CN104086957A

High transparent anti-static PET (polyethylene terephthalate) polyester thin film and preparation method thereof
Abstract
The invention discloses a high transparent anti-static PET (polyethylene terephthalate) polyester thin film and a preparation method thereof. The high transparent anti-static PET polyester thin film comprises the following components: PET, an anti-static agent and an antioxidant at a mass ratio of (95-99):(1-5):0.1. Block copolymerization is carried out on terephthalic acid, ethylene glycol and polyether, and the obtained copolymer is subjected to twin-screw extrusion pelletizing, so that an anti-static master batch, namely the anti-static agent, is prepared; a PET polyester is chipped, the anti-static master batch is subjected to vacuum drying, the anti-static master batch and the PET polyester chips are uniformly mixed, the antioxidant is added and mixing is carried out; then a thick film is obtained by virtue of twin-screw extrusion, and the thick film is subjected to two-way stretching and then is sized, so that the high transparent anti-static thin film is obtained. The PET polyester thin film has the advantages that the anti-static function of the thin film is improved, the surface resistance of the PET polyester thin film can be reduced to 108-1010 ohm, and high transparency is also maintained; by adopting the anti-static master batch, a long-time and stable anti-static function can be played.
