More Information
Summary:The disclosure relates to processes for producing lightweight polyethylene terephthalate bottles that retain good barrier properties against the permeation of oxygen, carbon dioxide and/or water vapor. The use of relatively small amounts of polyethylene furandicarboxylate during the formation of the PET bottles can produce a bottle having the required barrier properties and result in the use of less material.
