PETG resin
(Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol)
Our KD-series PETG resin is a variety of amorphous copolyester with an excellent combination of transparency and melt strength. These resins consistently meet our customers’ needs in a wide range of applications, from food packaging to home appliances.
Prominent properties of our PETG resin include:
- High Transparency
- Excellent Processability
- Low processing temperature for Injection /extrusion application
- Low shrinkage stress, temperature, and superior printing performance for shrink film application
KD-301 is our film-grade copolyester, which offers an excellent combination of clarity, toughness, and melt strength that makes it useful for various processing techniques and applications.
KD-302 is our bottle/ sheet grade copolyester. KD-302 will not crystallize and thus can be used in a broad array of manufacturing processes, including injection molding, extrusion, and thermal forming. KD-302 can be used in direct food contact packaging as the material is FDA and REACH compliant.
KD-303 is our specialty grade amorphous copolyester that offers an excellent combination of softness and toughness with low processing temperature and low melt strength, making it useful for various applications. Customers also take advantage of low processing temperature and use KD-303 as a modifier for their PET, PETG, TPU, or SBS. KD-303 can also be used in direct food contact packaging as the material is FDA and REACH-compliant.
