Frequently asked questions

Which IV do I need for water bottles?

Still-water bottles typically use IV around 0.76–0.80 dl/g; carbonated soft drinks usually require 0.84 dl/g. Your preform supplier’s specification prevails.

Can you supply food-contact PET?

Bottle-grade virgin resin is produced for food contact; compliance statements (FDA/EU) depend on the producer and are shared with the offer.
