PET is used for packaging food, distilled spirits, carbonated soft drinks, noncar-bonated beverages, and toiletries. Typical food products include, for example, mustard, peanut butter, spices, edible oil, syrups, and cocktail mixers. Its crystallized form (CPET) is the basic material for microwavable containers for frozen meals. Biaxially oriented PET is used in meat and cheese packaging and as a base for snack food laminations. PET coating on paperboard produces ovenable board for use in applications such as frozen dinners. PET pouches are used for boil-in-bag frozen foods, and for sterilizable pouches for medical applications. 

The high strength and dimensional stability of the polyester film have also led to its use for x-ray and photographic film and to a number of graphic art and drafting applications. The film is also used in food packaging, including boil-in-bag food pouches. Metallized polyester films have many uses as a decorative material. 

Film Applications Grilon CF 6S is particularly suitable for boil-in-bag applications. Grilon CR 9 is suitable for multilayer food packaging films for dry, nonfatty food packaging. Grilon CR 9 HV is a superior product for extreme-draw, thermoforming fiims.P i...

Nylons (polyamides) excel when high-temperature performance is required, such as for boil-in-bag packaging for frozen foods. They provide excellent odor and flavor barrier, moderate oxygen barrier, and excellent strength and toughness. 

Uses and applications multilayer food packaging, boil in bag, automotive fuel components. 

Boil-in-bag A type of food packaging foil, plastic, or laminate intend to be dropped into boiling water in order to cook the contents. 

Polyesters Tensile strengths up to 40,000 psi in tensiUzed (oriented) condition. Good high-temperature properties (original boil-in-bag material). Very good electrical properties. Metallized film used for thermal insulation on spacecraft. 

The PP/PIB blends are used for general-purpose films, boil-in bags, medical over-pouches, industrial sacks and liners. The blends compounded with carbon black served as over-wraps for the manufacture of tarpaulins, photographic films and papers, as well as in a variety of outdoor applications (weatherability of clear grades is poor). 

Applications that benefit from these improved properties include gas barriers for bottles (beer bottles), food packaging (boil-in bags, stand-up pouches), fuel tanks, automotive applications, electronics and electrical applications (components, printed circuit boards), electrically conductive parts, wires, cables, and many others. Most major plastics companies and compounders are developing, manufacturing, and marketing such products.
