This does not exclude his use for another type of packaging for the sector of foods. All the products of the family of resins of Artenius Elite offer exceptional characteristic of mechanical resistance, colour and transparency, that fulfil the exigencias of the transformers.
“We have created successfully a resin of PET that includes PET recycled in his process of manufacture, but with the same quality that the PET virgin 100%", it comments Jordi Foguet, director of technology of Artenius "his development was a rigorous conjoint effort between our departments of R&D, the centres of production, our pilot plant and of the providers of PET recycled, that also form part of LSB. We are excited in offering this ecological line of products to the market”.
The chemical process developed for the manufacture of Artenius Elite substitutes the raw materials no renewable pertinent of petrochemical processes by products of PET recycled, this allows the saving of natural resources and the reduction of broadcasts of carbon to the environingingment.
This new resin manufactures under an own chemical process. The flakes of PET recycled clean are subjected to a process of depolymerisation and mix with the standard raw materials of the PET virgin. The integration of both types of compounds carries out in the process of repolimerización.
