Pet Fines

PET Fines are small-sized particles or powder obtained from the reprocessing of post-consumer or post-industrial Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), commonly sourced from bottles, sheets, and packaging waste. These fines are the by-product of grinding, cutting, or flaking PET materials and are typically smaller than standard PET flakes. PET Fines retain the mechanical strength, clarity, and recyclability of PET, making them suitable for further processing into granules, compounding, or other applications where fine PET material is required.

Our Quality Assurance and Shipping Process

Material Guarantee We assure you that the material will meet the specifications of the loading pictures and the sample provided prior to shipment. Customer satisfaction and transparency are our top priorities.

Our Step-by-Step Process

1. Quality Inspection:
• Before finalizing the shipment, our Quality Control (QC) team conducts a thorough inspection of the material to ensure it meets the agreed-upon standards.
• Detailed videos and pictures of the material are captured during the inspection and shared with the customer for approval.
2. Container Booking:
• Once the customer approves the material, a container is booked on the next available vessel to ensure prompt delivery.
• The booking details, including the shipping schedule, are shared with the customer for tracking purposes.
3. Loading and Documentation:
• The material is carefully loaded into the container.
• During loading, we document the entire process with pictures and videos, capturing essential details such as:
• Material condition
• Loading procedure
• Container and seal numbers
• These visuals, along with the draft of the Bill of Lading (BL), are shared with the customer for verification.
4. BL Draft Confirmation:
• The customer reviews and confirms the BL draft.
• Based on the confirmation, the Original Bill of Lading (OBL) is issued.
• A copy of the OBL is then shared with the customer.

Key Features & Properties:

• Material: Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)

• Form: Fine particles or powder

• Color: Clear, natural, or mixed depending on source material

• Density: ~1.38 – 1.40 g/cm³

• Melt Flow Index (MFI): Typically used for reprocessing into granules

• Mechanical Properties: Retains tensile strength and dimensional stability when reprocessed

• Thermal Properties: Suitable for processing at PET extrusion and injection molding temperatures (~250–280°C)

• Chemical Resistance: Resistant to oils, acids, and mild chemicals; limited resistance to strong bases

• Processing: Can be re-extruded, blended with virgin PET, or used in compounding

Applications:

PET Fines are primarily used as a feedstock for recycling and manufacturing:

• Granulation: Reprocessed into PET granules for bottles, sheets, and containers

• Compounding: Blended with virgin PET or additives to create new materials

• Industrial applications: Filaments, fibers, and polyester-based products

• Blending material: Used to optimize cost and material efficiency in PET processing

Advantages:

• Eco-friendly: Supports recycling and reduces PET waste

• Cost-effective: Provides a lower-cost feedstock compared to virgin PET

• Versatile: Suitable for extrusion, injection molding, and compounding

• High purity: Can be screened to remove contamination for specific applications

• Sustainable manufacturing: Helps in creating recycled PET products
