Enhanced barrier performance via blends of poly(ethylene furandicarboxylate) and poly(ethylene terephthalate)

The disclosure relates to processes for producing lightweight polyethylene terephthalate bottles that retain good barrier properties against the permeation of oxygen, carbon dioxide and/or water vapor. The use of relatively small amounts of polyethylene furandicarboxylate during the formation of the...

Zusammenfassung:The disclosure relates to processes for producing lightweight polyethylene terephthalate bottles that retain good barrier properties against the permeation of oxygen, carbon dioxide and/or water vapor. The use of relatively small amounts of polyethylene furandicarboxylate during the formation of the PET bottles can produce a bottle having the required barrier properties and result in the use of less material.
