If your R-PET pellets have too low a viscosity for bottle preforms or technical parts, a solid-state polymerization reactor raises the molecular weight of the PET to the required level, without compromising the material's properties. The SSP process increases the intrinsic viscosity, improves the melting point, mechanical strength, and chemical stability, turning an ordinary pellet into high-performance material suited for food contact. In the recycling flow, solid-state polymerization sits after pelletizing, as a quality-finishing step, where the material gains maximum value. It replaces dependence on expensive virgin PET with a high-IV R-PET pellet, produced from your own material. It integrates…
