The technology addresses the limitations of traditional APET thermoformed cups and containers, which can only be used up to 60°C, by increasing its heat stability to up to 100°C. By extending the use of APET to higher- temperature applications above 60°C, brand owners can access better options that align with their sustainability goals. MARKETS & APPLICATIONS • Thermoformed, APET food packaging, including: - Hot steam sterilization - Hot fill - Microwave use • Polyester • Sheet extrusion & thermoforming KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Suitable for hot steam sterilization, hot fill, and microwave applications • Ideal for food-grade containers with high rigidity and improved gas barrier • Can withstand temperatures up to 100°C • Available in both transparent and opaque options • Processable on existing thermoforming lines with heated molds KEY BENEFITS • A fully circular monomaterial, up to 100% rPET polymer content • Promotion of the circularity of PET and the resulting packaging is possible • Helps customers to comply with the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) that demands recyclability of all packaging with binding PCR content targets by 2030 • Demonstrates improved productivity in comparison to CPET during thermoforming • Helps avoid possible EPR fees or penalties on difficult-to-recycle packaging PRODUCT BULLETIN Copyright © 2025, Avient Corporation.
