Recommended Applications

Tunhe PET TH102 is primarily recommended for bottled drinking water, carbonated and non-carbonated beverage bottles, edible oil bottles, food-grade liquid containers, and transparent or semi-transparent packaging containers. Besides, it can also be used for PET preforms and other packaging products requiring medium intrinsic viscosity and reliable processing stability.

Main Advantages

  • Food-Contact Safety. PET TH102 complies with FDA food-contact regulations and is specifically designed for direct contact with food and beverages. The resin is suitable for packaging drinking water, carbonated and non-carbonated beverages, as well as edible oils. Produced from high-purity raw materials under strict quality control, it ensures a clean and safe resin with minimal contaminants, meeting the stringent requirements of food packaging applications.
  • Good Processing Performance. This resin exhibits uniform melt behavior and stable intrinsic viscosity, enabling smooth and consistent processing. It is well suited for injection molding, injection stretch blow molding (ISBM), and extrusion processes. Tunhe TH102 offers a wide processing window, supporting stable production, high output efficiency, and reduced scrap rates in industrial manufacturing environments.
  • Outstanding Optical Properties. The material delivers high transparency and excellent surface gloss, providing a clear, glass-like appearance. With low yellowness and consistent color performance, PET TH102 is ideal for clear bottle applications where visual appeal and product presentation are critical.
  • Balanced Mechanical Properties. TH102 combines high strength with excellent toughness, offering reliable impact resistance and good stress crack resistance. These balanced mechanical properties help maintain bottle integrity during filling, transportation, storage, and end use, ensuring dependable performance throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Environmentally Friendly. As a fully recyclable PET material, Tunhe TH102 resin supports sustainable packaging solutions. It aligns with circular economy principles and helps manufacturers meet environmental and sustainability objectives without compromising performance or quality.

Processing & Storage Recommendations

  • Drying: PET resin is hygroscopic. Dry thoroughly before processing, typically at 160–180°C with a dew point of ≤ –40°C
  • Storage: Store in a dry, clean, and sealed environment to prevent moisture absorption
  • Shelf Life: While PET does not have a strict expiration date, it is recommended to use the product within two years after opening to ensure optimal performance
