Melt processing of SmartHeat RHC products is carried out at typical PET processing conditions at recommended dose rates, which range from .02% to .075%.
Care must be taken to optimize the bottle blowing process due to the increased heat-up rate of the preform, to take advantage of the many benefits offered by this product range.
