PET and rPET
are also popular options for manufacturers because they are cost-effective
materials compared to alternatives like glass and aluminum.
Energy Efficient
PET takes less energy to manufacture than alternative materials like glass.

The supplier molds two housing components using a 20 percent talc-filled polypropylene — one for the HVAC parts and one for the blower motor — then assembles all of the components to produce a single module.
Together they developed a specially formulated pre-colored talc-filled Maxxam™ PP material incorporating OnCap™ CTR Process Optimization Additive.
