TricorBraun Says Clarified Polypropylene a Good Alternative to PET
23 August 2007
TricorBraun has launched a new line of clarified polypropylene injection stretch blow moulded (CPP-ISBM) bottles.
CPP-ISBM bottles have the clarity and sheen of PET bottles, but a moisture vapour transmission rate 14 times that of PET and 2.5 times that of HDPE.
TricorBraun says CPP bottles are a cheaper alternative for companies wishing to upgrade to an HDPE line of packaging.
CPP bottles are also greener than their PET counterparts, requiring less energy to manufacture and mold the base resin. They do not require drying and are blown at a lower temperature.
