PET as primary packaging material for pharmaceutical products |
|
Glass has long been the material of choice for pharmaceutical applications. However, the advent of PET (polyethyleneterephthalate) has not gone unnoticed. The reason is that PET is able to match the specifications laid down, with a few very clear advantages as well. A bottle made of PET weighs just 1/10 of its glass equivalent. This weight saving is extremely beneficial, particularly with pharmaceutical packaging, owing to the long distances over which these products are transported. The reduction in weight results in considerable savings in logistics costs.

PET made suitable for wine by enhanced oxygen barrier |
|
Wine is still usually bottled in glass, owing to the effect of oxygen on the taste. Standard PET has an oxygen barrier of three months. This is often increased by adding anti-oxidants to the wine. PET Power is able to increase the shelf-life of wine up to 18 months, by adding an oxygen-blocking agent to the PET grains.
Catering for the aviation sector
PET bottles have major advantages for catering aboard airplanes. On an intercontinental flight this can provide weight savings equivalent to two passengers. It is obvious that this offers considerable cost savings for air travel, quite apart from the positive impact on the environment.
