Rigid Packaging

Polyester and (r)PET grades for the production of Rigid Packaging

Rigid Packaging is one of the globally fastest growing industries. Most commonly produced products by means of extrusion are APET and CPET sheets, which are generally thermoformed into trays. Examples of injection-molded packaging products are cups, bottles, and containers.

Many rigid packaging applications present excellent opportunities for the use of recycled materials and this reduces the need for fossil based raw materials. DuFor offers a range of rPET resins that are approved for direct food contact applications.

Tailor-made polyesters

To obtain the highest possible quality packaging in terms of mechanical properties, sealability, color, processability etc., we also offer CumaPET  grades that can be custom-made for your specific packaging application.

Rethink the packaging process, improve recyclability

Plastic Packaging has a significant environmental impact. The materials used, recyclability, the packaging weight, and its manufacturing methods are all factors that increase or decrease this impact on the environment. Currently, there is a clear trend towards PET packaging. This is mainly driven by the excellent recyclability of polyester. Other (coextruded) polymers, like PE and other barrier materials are disturbing the polyester recycling processes. To avoid these issues, it is essential to apply design for recycling, to rethink the packaging, and to use monomaterials as much as possible, or materials that can be recycled together. DuFor has several modified polyesters that, for example, offer the possibility to lower the weight of packaging, replace other polymers, while retaining their performance and thereby to improve recyclability.

Custom-made raw material solution

Together with our customers, we develop the right combination of the lowest environmental impact and the best product performance. However, also if you are looking for improved mold flow characteristics, higher mechanical properties, or any other improvement in your current packaging product, we are happy to jointly develop a custom-made solution.
