Increase efficiency

During blow molding, existing PET preforms must be reheated with infrared light so they can be blown into the final bottle form. As natural PET resin has low absorption of infrared light, a traditionally long heating time is required. 

The FastHeat additive increases the infrared light absorption of the PET bottle preforms. This decreases the residence time in the oven and, therefore, lowers overall energy usage.
