3. Physical & Chemical Properties
State: Solid particles at room temperature
Solubility: Insoluble in water and common organic solvents
Stability: Stable under normal processing conditions; hygroscopic
Note: PEF is a 100% bio-based polyester resin derived from 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, offering superior gas barrier properties compared to conventional PET. It features a higher melting point, excellent thermal stability, and good mechanical strength, making it ideal for sustainable packaging and food contact applications.
4. Applications
Food & beverage packaging (bottles, films, trays)
Barrier packaging for oxygen-sensitive products
Sustainable fiber and textile production
Biodegradable and recyclable plastic alternatives
5. Packaging & Storage
Packaging: 25kg bags or bulk (customizable upon request)
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep away from moisture, direct sunlight, and incompatible materials.
