PET Bottles

PET bottles and preforms demand precise color at 280°C processing temperatures without degrading the polymer or compromising clarity. Color must remain stable through injection molding of preforms and reheat blow molding, while food-contact and recyclability requirements grow ever stricter.

• Thermal stability at PET processing temperatures up to 280°C
• Food-contact compliance for beverages and liquid foods
• Consistent color from preform to blown bottle
• Clarity and transparency for clear and tinted bottles
• Recyclability without contaminating the PET recycling stream

MHK Color supplies PET-specific color masterbatches engineered for preform injection and blow molding.

• Thermally stable pigments that hold their shade through preform and blowing
• Food-grade formulations compliant with FDA and EU 10/2011
• Transparent tints and opaque colors for every bottle design
• Consistent batch-to-batch color with Delta E < 1.0
• Recycling-compatible formulations that protect the rPET stream

From water and soft-drink bottles to cosmetics and pharma containers, our PET bottle masterbatches deliver the color stability and compliance that beverage brands require.
