Sales Specifications of Polyethylene Naphthalate Copolymer (PENCo) (CAS 27289-84-5)
IVL’s polyethylene naphthalate copolymers (PENCos) are a collection of specialty polyester copolymers of polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) and polyethylene
terephthalate (PET) or some other polymer, such as polyamide (PA). The combination results in improved thermal, barrier (both diffusional and UV penetration),
mechanical, and weathering properties with respect to standard PET. The composition of the copolymers are tailored in order to meet the optimized needs of the end
use applications, which include packaging of beverages, pharma and cosmetic and other engineering resins. PENCos may be used in food contact articles under US FDA
regulations, and their monomers are EU REACH registered.
※ Some PENCos are available at higher IV upon request.
