4. Product Description
Developed for cost-driven applications such as short fiber, low-strength straps, and general-use reprocessing. Made using oil bottle flakes, either fully or blended with blue PET, and is visually more yellow than higher grades. It offers a practical and economical option for manufacturers focused on throughput and price competitiveness, where high mechanical properties are not a critical requirement.
Recommended for staple short fiber and industrial sheet production where cost-effectiveness is prioritized.
5. Packaging Options
- I-BW: Bulk bags, double stacked on pallets. 40 bags (20 pallets) per container.
- I-O / I-BO: Tall bags, strapped atop pallets. 22 bags (22 pallets) per container.
- Standard loading weight: 25-26 MT per 40HQ container. Please notify any applicable weight limits.
6. Storage Conditions
- Store in a dry, covered area, avoiding direct sunlight and moisture exposure.
- Recommended processing within 6 months.
7. Safety, Traceability & Retention
R12 Series is classified as non-hazardous and should be handled following standard PET material guidelines. Each production batch is traceable via unique QR codes and internal lot numbers. Retention samples are kept for six months for traceability and quality review purposes.
8. Testing Methods & Parameters
All thermal properties are tested at 230°C for 50-60 minutes under industry-standard laboratory conditions. All values in this TDS represent average results over the entire inspected load (2 TEU). Individual samples may occasionally exceed benchmarks due to statistical deviation.
Certifications: Sedex, EN 15343, Global Recycled Standard, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, REACH compliant.
