Package Materials Perspective for Resin Trade-Offs
Package Materials Perspective: Resin Trade-Offs in Packaging Reference Standard: ASTM D1693 environmental stress-cracking resistance testing for polyethylene packaging materials, supported by relevant material-performance testing principles from ASTM International and packaging recovery guidance from How2Recycle. Short Answer Package materials should not be selected only by appearance or one broad plastic name. PE, PET, and PP each carry a different trade-off between squeeze flexibility, clarity, heat resistance, chemical stability, molding precision, decoration adhesion, and surface protection. Selecting package materials is less about finding one universal plastic and more about deciding which performance loss is acceptable for the product, filling method, decoration route, and user handling pattern. A clear PET bottle may improve … 続きを読む
