PET Chips

Polyethylene Teraphthalate (PET), the main product of Polygürteks, is a thermoplastic polymer obtained by the polymerization of purified Teraphthalic Acid (PTA) with Monoethylene Glycol (MEG).

Polygürteks product range includes PET polymer chips products suitable for the following end uses:

Textile

Poy and Fdy yarn production, BCF polyester yarn production, spanbond production.

Film

All kinds of BOPET film applications, especially food packaging.

Textile Type Chips

Textile type chips with IV values between 0.64 and 0.65 (dl/g) are produced with super-shiny properties. The production of super-shiny chips is amorphous and cylindrical cut.

Film Type Chips

PET chips used in BOPET film processes for the packaging industry are produced. PET chips are used in sheet production.

In addition to our products containing anti-blocking agent, we also have products containing Barium Sulphate (BaSO4) suitable for opaque film production.

Our portfolio also includes antimony-free PET products suitable for different end-uses.

FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation: In case of exposure to vapours, gases and fumes resulting from combustion or in molten form, take the victim to the open air and place him/her in a position where he/she can breathe freely. If necessary, provide artificial respiration and seek medical attention.
Eye Contact: In case of eye contact, rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical advice immediately. Splashes of crisps or dust may damage the eye, rinse with water if necessary and seek medical advice.
Skin Contact: If mechanical injury to eyes occurs, seek medical advice. In case of skin contact with melted chips, rinse with plenty of cold water. Do not try to remove the product from the skin. If burns occur, seek medical advice.
Ingestion: No danger of toxicity, not biologically active. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Fire Extinguishing Vehicles: Water, carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical powder.
Harmful Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
Protective Equipment: Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not inhale harmful gases resulting from combustion.

ACCIDENTAL SPREAD MEASURES

Sweep up spilt chips and polymer solid waste and dispose of in a suitable container. Walking on spilt chips may cause a fall. Do not allow to enter drains, soil and water bodies.

TRANSPORT and STORAGE

Store in dry conditions in tightly sealed original packs or in suitable stainless steel silos. Protect from direct sunlight and rain. Provide suitable conditions to prevent dust accumulation on the packaging. It is recommended that equipment in contact with the material be earthed to prevent static electricity caused by friction.

DISABILITY CONTROL and PERSONAL PROTECTION

Occupational exposure standards There are no established standards for polymer.

Eye/Face Protection: Suitable eye protection when used in the cold process wear face protection. Wear a face shield when handling melted material.
Hand/Skin Protection: Where necessary, use heat-resistant gloves. No special protective clothing is required under normal conditions. If there is a possibility of contact with hot or melted material, wear heat-resistant clothing and footwear.
Respiratorion Protection: A respirator is not normally used. If airborne concentrations are expected to exceed the exposure limit, wear a suitable respirato.
Decontamination Facilities: Eye wash, washing facilities
