OPS and PET: selected materials for the industrial production of packaging and products made of thermoforming
OPS (Oriented Polystyrene)
Oriented Polystyrene (OPS) is a thermoplastic material that stands out for its high transparency and brilliance. It is achieved through a polystyrene orientation process, which improves stiffness and impact resistance, while maintaining good thermoforming capacity.
FEATURES
- High transparency and gloss
- Good impact resistance
- Ease of processing
RECOMMENDED USE
- OPS is ideal for applications in the food packaging sector, such as trays and transparent containers, and for the production of displays and aesthetic packaging.
PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)
PET is a thermoplastic material with high mechanical and thermal resistance. It is widely used for the production of containers and packaging, especially for food and beverages, due to its ability to maintain the integrity of products and its excellent barrier against moisture and gases.
FEATURES
- High mechanical resistance
- Thermal resistance
- Offers excellent protection against moisture and gases
RECOMMENDED USE
- PET is perfect for applications in the food and beverage industry, such as bottles, containers, and packaging, due to its excellent storage properties and thermal resistance.
