About PET
No. | Application | Intrinsic viscosity(IV) | Molar mass |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Textile | 0.64dl/g | 15000-20000g/mol |
2 | Bottle | 0.75-1.0dl/g | 24000-36000g/mol |
3 | BOPET film | 0.64dl/g | 15000-20000g/mol |
4 | Sheet | 0.7dl/g | 20000-25000g/mol |
5 | Tire cord | 1.0-1.2dl/g | 36000-50000g/mol |
Thermal degradation reaction
The thermal degradation happens when the temperature is higher than the melting point, which is inevitable. As the activation energy of the thermal degradation reaction is higher than that of the polycondensation reaction. The thermal degradation becomes heavier and heavier with the increase of temperature.
Special Extruder for PET Recycling
High Torque Gearbox
Our high torque of gearbox 10.3 Nm./cm3 can process PET at lower temperatures and a lower speed less shearing, but at the same time, produce higher output.
Strong Vacuum
With vacuum level less than 0.5Kpa
Less VOC content, better color
Less IV drop ( less than 5%, about 0.04dl/g)
Energy Consumption saving of up to 40% comparing to traditional drying process
Special Force Feeding System
Higher output for low bulk density material, such as crushed cloth/yarn/fiber, BOPE film, PET sheet, bottle flakes.
Excellent Screw Design
Better molecular weight distribution.
