- Disposal
When disposing of any wastes, be certain all applicable laws and regulations are met. If these regulations are met, the following is applicable for the polyethylene terephthalate resins as supplied. Polyethylene terephthalate resins can be disposed of either by incineration (preferred) or landfill. With properly controlled industrial, commercial or municipal incineration, particulate or gaseous discharge into the air can be maintained within allowable levels. Thermoplastic resins, such as polyethylene terephthalate resins, have high heat values and should be incinerated only in units designed to handle high heats of combustion. In landfill, polyethylene terephthalate resins are inert, do not degrade, form a strong and permanent soil base, and emit no gasses or leachates known to pollute water resources.
- Recycling
Polyethylene terephthalate resins can be recycled. Production rejects, and/or conversion waste should be recycled if possible.
- Technology
- Plastics
- Combustibility
Polyethylene terephthalate resins will burn when supplied with adequate amounts of heat and oxygen. They should be handled and stored away from contact with direct flames and/or other ignition sources. In burning, polyethylene terephthalate resins contribute high heat and may generate a dense black smoke. Fires can be extinguished by conventional means. In enclosed areas, fire fighters should be provided with self-contained breathing apparatus.

- Attributes
BISNEINEX™ provides very good mechanical properties and a wide processing range on injection molding machines. Moreover, preforms manufactured from BISNEINEX™ provide enhanced infrared heating rates, thus improving the operation of the stretch blow molding process, either increasing the maximum output or reducing the reheat energy requirement. BISNEINEX™is particularly suitable for injection molding of thickwall preforms and for the production of large volume (>1L) containers.
