GY-VE37 Thickener & Modifier for PET

Description

Intro

GO YEN CHEMICAL INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. (GYC GROUP) is now the largest manufacturer of functional additives in Asia. We have years of experience in this field and continuously provide innovative and high-quality products that meet today’s diverse standards and demands in every industry worldwide.

Polyethylene terephthalate, commonly abbreviated PET, belongs to the polyester family and is commonly used in tape, bottle, textile, etc. as PET shows great toughness, light weight, acid/alkali resistance, and is nonvolatile. When PET bottles are recycled, they can be made into other containers or fiber via melt spinning. Environmental issues have become market trends and even turn out to be a part of the factors that increase the product value. Therefore, lots of international major beverage producers and textile brands are now actively using recycled PET to produce products that afterwards are advertised as recycled product or eco-friendly product. For instance, some of the clothes are shown to be “composed of recycled fiber.” Textile industry nowadays got involved with transnational recycling companies in order to seize the future international market. Yet the physical properties and viscosity of PET will decline once it is heated or recycled repeatedly. Moreover, the hydrolysis of PET can be carried out easily; as a result, although there are more than eight million tons of plastic bottles are produced worldwide, only one million of them can be reused for making new plastic bottles.

To meet the market needs, GYC GROUP developed GY-VE37 Thickener & Modifier for PET which can be used in PET recycled material, PET recycled chip, engineering plastics, film, and in the applications of spinning, bottle blowing, etc. With its granule form, GY-VE37 can be mixed or compounded with PET and with other plastic materials. It not only improves the viscosity, hydrophobicity, and physical properties of recycled material (e.g. tensile strength, tearing strength), but also makes it can be effectively processed and used.
