PET is a popular material choice for food and beverage packaging, affording high clarity with design flexibility. The new 4020G grade offers up to 50 percent lower haze and reduced impact on the PET recycle stream compared to previous grades, while maintaining the same reliable active oxygen scavenging performance. The Impact

In addition to color uniformity, engineers also wanted a balance of stiffness, impact resistance and heat resistance. They also provided technical support in molding operations to assure fast, high-quality output.  The Impact
