A weak, less elastomeric material will creep more than a higher strength, more resilient material.
Flexural modulus measures the materials’ resistance to bending, and hardness measures the materials’ resistance to penetration.
Generally, higher hardness materials have better abrasion resistance.

Variations in the aesthetic appearance of rPET are caused by multiple heat cycles, as the material is recovered and reused.
In addition, processing efficiencies are reduced as the material is recycled.
Examples include:
• Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation
• Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses
