Notes

Product Description:- Bi-orientation of Laser+® W (L40A) by injection/stretch blow molding provides optimal barrier and mechanical properties, including superior stress crack resistance. It performs exceptionally well in the manufacture of water bottles where heat up rate and temperature profile through the wall are important. DAK has engineered Laser+® W (L40A) for water bottle use by providing a slightly lower intrinsic viscosity (IV), allowing for a gentle injection molding process, and improved acetaldehyde (AA) performance. Laser+® W (L40A) offers superior heat absorption and processing control, even at higher blow molding speeds. A relatively slow crystallization rate enables high injection molding output. Certification:- Laser+® W (L40A) is ideally suited for food packaging applications and is considered in compliance with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Food Contact Notification (FCN) 000635, and Health Canada Health Products and Food Branch (HPFB) file KS 05103107 for PET polymers.
