Unlike simple polymers such as polyethylene, PET is not made by a single stage process, but by the reaction between two chemicals, purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and ethylene glycol 8ĩ (EG).

PET-STRUCTURE Bottle Grade PET Nowadays PET is still widely used for these purposes, but when, in the 1970s a marketing need was identified for larger light-weight, unbreakable bottles to contain carbonated drinks, PET fit the bill perfectly. Its strength, temperature tolerance and wear-resistance made it an ideal replacement for, or addition to natural fibres such as silk, cotton and wool. PET came into prominence in the 1950s as a textile material. PET is supplied by the resin manufacturers in the form of small pellets, each about 0.05 grams. PET is linear thermoplastic (long-chain molecule consists of repeating units shown as figure right), white but bluish resin made from terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol through poly-condensation. Special grades are offered with the required properties for the different applications.

After thorough study of the market demand of the project, I am proposing this manufacturing unit for the same. 6ħ About the Promoter The promoter of the proposed project should be highly educated, financially sound and possess rich experience in the same field. Today, the food and beverages industry is increasingly using PET to replace glass and other materials. PET excels by its inherent values like strength, safety, cost-effectiveness and being lightweight, unbreakable and recyclable. PET (polyethylene terephthalate) has recorded the fastest growth rate in the global plastics market and this is evident from the revolution witnessed in the fields of mineral water, beverages, edible oil, detergents etc. A global trend has emerged to produce hi-tech, sophisticated and eye-catching plastic packaging. Plastic packaging has become indispensable to the world. The advantages of PET bottles include exceptional clarity, pure, safe, good barrier to oxygen, carbon dioxide and water, lightweight and therefore less shipping costs, no leakage, design flexibility, recyclable, long shelf life, good chemical resistance etc. This is the first stage in the two stage PET bottle manufacturing process suitable for large scale production and here the pet preform is molded on an injection moulding machine, then in the second stage the preform is reheated and blown on a blow moulding machine. Manufacturing Process & Process Flow Chart 5Ħ INTRODUCTION The proposed project is for the manufacture of PET- PREFORMS and BOTTLES The products find applications in the field of Packaged Drinking Water Vegetable Oils Confectionery Soft Drinks The basic technical and financial parameters of a project on the manufacture PET preforms by injection moulding PET bottle grade resin are described in this profile.
