LIGHTERTM resins are polyethylene terephthalate produced from PTA and MEG. These polymers are specifically designed for the production of beverage, food and other liquid containers and for thermoforming. There are several LIGHTER PET polymers, designed for the specific performance requirements of different applications, including very good mechanical properties, excellent clarity and a wide processing range on all injection and stretch blow molding machines. LIGHTER C88 is particularly suitable for bottling mineral water since it is designed specifically to minimize the formation of acetaldehyde. In general this grade is recommended for bottles for both still and carbonated mineral water. LIGHTER C88 is also suitable for the production of extruded thermoformable sheets. LIGHTER C88, when used unmodified and processed under good manufacturing practices, should allow packaging article production in compliance with the laws and regulations for articles in contact with foodstuffs in force in the European Union and in the United States of America. Please contact your nearest Equipolymers sales office regarding food contact compliance statements. The purchaser remains responsible for determining whether the use complies with all relevant regulations.

LIGHTERTM S98 is a polyester modified to improve infrared reheating of preforms. LIGHTER S98 provides very good mechanical properties and a wide processing range on all injection molding machines. Moreover, preforms manufactured from LIGHTER S98 provide enhanced infrared heating rates, thus improving the operation of the stretch blow molding process, either increasing the maximum output or reducing the reheat energy. LIGHTER S98 is particularly suitable for the production of bottles for carbonated soft drinks.
