Extrusion sheet

Description

APET

Commonly used for food packaging applications due to its superior clarity and excellent barrier properties. Also widely used to make tray or blister packages.

PET-G

PET-G is noted for its thermoforming versatility, its impact resistance (toughness), and its retention of optical clarity after bending or forming.  These properties allow PET-G to be widely used in packaging applications.  Other applications include point-of-sale retail displays, signs, drinks, bottle and smart cards.

GAG

GAG is a three (3)-layer extrusion sheet, whereby the top and bottom layers consist of PET-G sheets, while the middle layer consists of APET sheet. It retains the characteristics of, and is used in the same application markets as, PET-G extrusion sheets.

HIPS

Has much better impact resistance than normal polystyrene. Commonly used for demanding end-user applications in the food, dairy and medical packaging industries. Its properties ensure compliance with strict food and medical regulations.

PP

Chemically resistant and almost completely impervious to water. Examples of applications include storage bins, bottles and dishwasher safe food containers.

OPS

Unaffected by contact with food, including meat fats. Applications include packaging of sandwiches and salad, amongst others.

PVC

Compatible with many different kinds of additives, PVC can be clear or coloured and rigid or flexible.  Formulation of the compound is the key to PVC’s “added value”. PVC can be used in the forming food packaging and medical products packaging, amongst others.
