Polyester: Akestra™

Product Availability Product Description
Akestra™ 100 Europe
Akestra™ is a sparkling glass-like, heat resistant polyester that enables optimization and diversification of PET packaging production lines. Akestra™ is a sustainable material that enables food serving in a new, safe and visually appealing container that also improves brand security as brand owners can feel 100% secure in serving their products in Akestra™ packaging. Akestra™ 100 offers a unique combination of good mechanical properties and higher heat resistance in the Akestra range. Akestra™ 100 is suitable for injection, injection blow moulding and extrusion but can also be used in co-extrusion and co-injection with PET. With a HDT that is 5°C above Akestra™ 90 and with higher mechanical flexibility and impact resistance then Akestra™ 110, Akestra™ 100 is in many applications the best choice.
Akestra™ 110 Europe
Akestra™ is a sparkling glass-like, heat resistant polyester that enables optimization and diversification of PET packaging production lines. Akestra™ is a sustainable material that enables food serving in a new, safe and visually appealing container that also improves brand security as brand owners can feel 100% secure in serving their products in Akestra™ packaging. Akestra™ is the ultimate solution in the applications witth the highest demand when it comes to heat resistance in the Akestra range. Akestra™ 110 works excellent by its own in extrusion, injection and injection blow moulding but can also be used together with for example recycled PET in co-extrusion or co-injection to create a A/B/A structure (80% R-PET, 20% Akestra™ 110) giving a material, based on 80% recycled material with excellent transparency and a heat resistance up to 85°C ideal for hotfil and hot food serving applications.
Akestra™ 90 Europe
Akestra™ is a sparkling glass-like, heat resistant polyester that enables optimization and diversification of PET packaging production lines. Akestra™ is a sustainable material that enables food serving in a new, safe and visually appealing container that also improves brand security as brand owners can feel 100% secure in serving their products in Akestra™ packaging. Akestra™ 90 offers the best value in terms of mechanical properties for both cold and hot application, in the Akestra™ range. Still at a heat resistance superior to PET, as HDT is 11°C above PET. Akestra™ 90 also offers many opportunities as performance boosting additive as it is fully mixable with PET and PC without compromising with transparency.
