Innovation in PET: new services

P.E.T. Engineering (global leader in the design and industrialization of PET containers) presented at Brau Beviale 2015 a series of new consulting services for materials and processes, so proving itself to be a single point of reference for the creation, engineering and industrialization of PET packaging.

To this end, the Veneto-based company availed itself of an injection machine and expanded its testing equipment pool in order to gain the capacity to test novelties in barriers, colors and additives with total autonomy and the necessary scientific rigor, in such a way suppling bottlers and converters feasible solutions along the entire bottle production process, from the granule to the shelf.
There are many complex requirements to combine, starting with the growing attention towards the environment, which translates into a greater use of materials recycled from biomass and plants.

Not to mention the need for colors capable of identifying a product unmistakably, as well as guaranteeing special effects, not just for the eyes but also for the consumer’s tactile experience. And so there are sophisticated competencies that must be evaluated (and updated constantly), such as how latest generation colors and additives influence a container’s mechanical performance and behavior during production, storage and use, in addition to ascertaining with the appropriate accuracy the interaction between sensitive products and barriers.
Fairs represent an important occasion for updates and comparisons, as at Brau, as well as the international PET conference (“Petnology”, Nuremberg, D, 9 - 10 November).
