Throughout the production, use, and recycling of PET, the quality of the PET products can be greatly compromised due to thermal degradation, the presence of solid contaminants, the presence of Non-Intentionally Added Substances (NIAS) and discoloration that alters the appearance of PET products in visibility applications.
Cost-effective processing and achieving the correct and safe quality of recycled PET is crucial for PET recyclers, packaging manufacturers, yarn spinners, and brand owners. Chemical analysis techniques play a key role in monitoring and controlling the quality of PET polymers, packaging, and textile products. With 70 years of experience in PET analysis, GETEC has gained profound insights into achieving and maintaining the desired quality of recycled PET, thereby minimizing safety risks and reducing production costs.
