PET Bottles

Safer: PET plastic bottles are better than frosted glass cosmetic bottles in safety.

Lighter: PET plastic bottles are light in weight, convenient for long-distance transportation of products, and can save transportation costs for cosmetics companies.

More Convenient: The portability of PET plastic bottled cosmetics is better than that of glass bottles, and it can adapt to the young people's mentality of seeking novelty and difference;

More Looks: PET plastic bottles can improve the appearance image of high-end cosmetics;

More Sizes: The flexibility of PET bottle type and capacity selection is large, and products with different bottle types and capacities can be produced, and the variety of products is enriched.

Industrial Activities: in the case of many industrial activities, the use of PET facilitates the manufacture of engines or packaging that can withstand very low temperatures in acidic environments. Among the segments that make most use of it are the cosmetics and healthcare sectors, where PET containers are indispensable for marketing certain sensitive liquids and medicines, as well as products that require specific conditions for their preservation, such as medicinal oils, certain drugs or talcum powder.

Textiles: In other sectors, such as textiles, the use of recycled PET is a trend both from a fashion point of view and as a way of expressing the commitment of brands to care for the environment. One of the most common systems in this sector is the recycling of plastic material into chips and fibers through a process called polymerization, which are later melted in rows to form cords and, with them, yarns that are put together on spools. From there, they are transformed into polyester fibers which, mixed with other elements, are used by factories to produce completely new garments.

Automotive Industry: Another industry that has been betting heavily on the use of PET for decades is the automotive industry. The manufacture of parts using this material brings a host of advantages to the companies that use it, often even replacing steel, the traditional king of this sector. The use of plastic allows, among other advantages, to achieve a significant reduction in the weight of the parts, which favors better aerodynamics of the vehicles. In addition, its use in the finishing of the interiors favors greater acoustic insulation.

Storage Time: PET bottles should be used in a First In, First Out system to limit the time stored. Long term storage should be accomplished using a sealed polyethylene plastic bag or lined drums, totes, bins, Gaylord containers, supersacks or seabulks. The plastic liner will help prevent dust and dirt from entering the bottles.

Storage Temperature: Elevated storage temperatures (above 100°F/38°C) allow empty PET bottles to further shrink, mainly due to relaxation of the oriented and partially oriented regions of the bottle. Extreme temperature conditions (above 131°F/55°C) can cause severe distortion of the amorphous areas of the bottle, including the finish and neck. Moderate storage temperature should be provided to insure consistent bottle dimensions and properties.

Surface Contamination: Storage area should be kept clean, dry, dust, odor, insect, and rodent free. The storage area should be approved for food storage. PET bottles should not be stored in direct sunlight. Aromatic materials such as spices, solvents, ink, cleaning supplies, and disinfectants should not be stored in the same area as PET bottles.

Shipping Conditions: It is recommended when empty PET bottles are shipped to or through areas where outdoor temperatures may exceed 90°F/32°C a temperature controlled container or trailer capable of maintaining a temperature of 80°F/27°C or lower be used.
