Notes

PROCESSING CONDITIONS The PET (BC210) has to be dried to moisture content below about 30-40 ppm. The drying conditions typically used are 180 ºC for 5 hours; the dew point of the drying air should be at least -40 ºC. Typically, injection temperatures of 285 ºC maybe used to get clear preforms with acceptable acetaldehyde level for Colas and flavored drinks. FOOD REGULATION BC210 is suitable for food contact application. Detail information provided in relevant Material Safety Datasheet and for additional specific information please contact SABIC local representative for certificate.  STORAGE AND HANDLING PET resin should be stored in a manner to prevent a direct exposure to sunlight and/or heat. The storage area should also be dry with relative humidity below 50% and temperatures preferably do not exceed 50 ºC. SABIC would not give warranty to bad storage conditions, which may lead to quality deterioration such as color change, bad smell and inadequate product performance. It is advisable to process PET within 6 months after delivery.
