PET is an acronym for polyethylene terephthalate – a synthetic resin of thermoplastic polymer. Although the progression in science of polymer was evident from the mid 18th century, the basic material of PET was patented for the first time around a century later in the year 1941. During Word War-2, it became a material of commercial applications right from fabrics to packaging. It was the year 1971 when the first PET bottle was patented.
Interestingly, around the globe, it is referred as a material carrying more popular local brand names, for example, Terylene in the United Kingdom, Lavsan in the once-upon-a- time USSR and polyester in the United States. PET, as a material, has always been in use in the textile industry, but in the contemporary times, it is hugely being used in the bottling industry around the globe. Consequently, the makers of PET blow moulding and hot runner systems have elevated to the occasion.
The technocrats across the globe are jointly performing in-depth research, development and analysis in PET blow moulding machine technology. This job coupled by the favoring trends in the global market has enabled prominent manufacturers to move up with turnkey solutions to the PET processing business including the new-age PET preform moulds.
The Indian business owners who are heavily involved within the industry have also made their mark on the international front. Their products have been found quality-oriented by the users across the world. In particular, they have earned a formidable reputation for their innovative moulding techniques which are widely used in the manufacturing of caps and seals of PET Planet extrusion bottles.
Other than packaging, this unique concept of injection moulding is applicable in almost all the segments of the industry and consorted products. Injection moulded products and their parts can be seen everywhere; be it combs, furniture, containers for storage, electrical switch boards and wire spools, etc. One of the salient advantages of injection moulding methodology is its higher volume of production with lesser possible inputs in context with raw materials and power as well.
