Product description

PET chemical recycling technology breaks the polymer down through glycolysis into BHET and rebuilds it through esterification and polycondensation. The resulting product has properties comparable to virgin PET and can feed sheet, fiber or PET chip production. The process accepts degraded, colored or contaminated PET materials and provides capacities between…
