Lighter C98

About this Product

LIGHTERTM S98 is a polyester modified to improve infrared reheating of preforms.

LIGHTER S98 provides very good mechanical properties and a wide processing range on all injection molding machines. Moreover, preforms manufactured from LIGHTER S98 provide enhanced infrared heating rates, thus improving the operation of the stretch blow molding process, either increasing the maximum output or reducing the reheat energy. LIGHTER S98 is particularly suitable for the production of bottles for carbonated soft drinks.

LIGHTER S98, when used unmodified and processed under good manufacturing practices, should allow packaging article production in compliance with the laws and regulations for articles in contact with foodstuffs in force in the European Union and in the United States of America. Please contact your nearest Equipolymers office regarding food contact compliance statements. The purchaser remains responsible for determining whether the use complies with all relevant regulations.
