What are the advantages of PET plastic bottles
source：www.sstree.cn | Release time：2025-07-07
PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic bottles have become widely used packaging containers in beverage, food, daily chemical and other fields due to their excellent performance. Their core advantages are as follows:
1. Excellent physical performance, protecting the contents
High strength and impact resistance: PET material has high mechanical strength and impact resistance, is not easy to break, can withstand collisions and compressions during transportation and storage, reduces the risk of content leakage, and is particularly suitable for packaging carbonated beverages (such as cola), fruit juice, and other liquids.
Good barrier properties: It has a good barrier effect on gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and moisture, reducing the exchange of contents and external substances, delaying the oxidation, flavor loss, or moisture absorption of food and beverages, and extending the shelf life.
High transparency: PET bottles have a light transmittance of over 90%, which can clearly display the color and condition of the internal contents, enhance the visual appeal of the product, and facilitate consumer observation.
2. Outstanding lightweight and convenience
Lightweight: Compared to traditional packaging materials such as glass and metal, PET bottles have lower density and lighter texture. They weigh only about 1/10 of glass bottles in the same capacity, greatly reducing transportation costs (reducing energy consumption and logistics burden), and are also convenient for consumers to carry.
Strong plasticity: It can be made into various shapes (such as cylindrical, square, irregular) and capacities (from tens of milliliters to several liters) through blow molding technology, meeting the packaging needs of different products, and has high design flexibility.
Easy to open and use: With sealing structures such as screw caps and press caps, it is easy to open and can be repeatedly sealed, suitable for multiple drinking scenarios.
3. Good chemical stability and high safety
Chemical resistance: PET material has stable chemical properties and is not prone to chemical reactions with most foods and beverages (excluding acidic and alkaline substances that require special treatment). It will not release harmful substances to contaminate the contents and meets safety standards for food contact materials (such as FDA, GB 4806.7, etc.).
Odorless: It has no odor and will not affect the flavor of the contents, ensuring the original taste of the product.
4. Cost advantage and environmental potential
High production efficiency: The blow molding process is mature, with fast production speed, suitable for large-scale industrial production, and reduces the manufacturing cost per unit product.
Recyclability: It belongs to the category of recyclable plastics (labeled as "No.1 plastic"), which can be recycled into fibers, sheets, other plastic products, etc. through recycling processes, achieving resource recycling and in line with environmental trends (although the recycling system still needs to be improved, the material itself has the potential for regeneration).
5. Wide adaptability and diverse application scenarios
Moderate temperature resistance: It can withstand temperatures of around 60 ℃ (some modified PET can withstand higher temperatures), suitable for packaging at room temperature or refrigerated products, widely used in mineral water, carbonated beverages, fruit juice, tea drinks, edible oil, cosmetics and other fields.
