In order to deliver the best blow molding
performance, it is customary within the
conversion industry to establish ‘recipe’ guidelines
per resin/per supplier as different PET resin
production technologies and different specific
resin formulations can significantly influence
the blow molding performance.

Solutions that promote UV stability, in order
to retain flame retardancy efficacy after sun
exposure, are also available.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Consistent coloring and improved
homogenization with the polymer for more
efficient processing and waste reduction
• Opaque PSU/PES/PPSU masterbatches
available with shorter lead times in a range
of readily available standard colors
• Minimum order quantities as low as 5kg (10lbs)
for improved inventory control
• Robust colorant formulations mean zero
disruption to existing molding processes,
allowing manufacturers to bring products
to market faster and without investing in
new machinery
