0.2 mm PET plastic sheet

Brief introduction of 0.2 mm PET plastic sheet

A 0.2 mm PET plastic sheet is a thin, flexible sheet made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a type of polyester. PET is commonly used for various applications due to its excellent properties:

Product Application of 0.2 mm PET plastic sheet

The 0.2 mm PET plastic sheet is suitable for packaging a wide range of products due to its excellent physical and chemical properties. Below are some common application areas:

1. Food Packaging

(1) Beverage Bottles: PET is a common material for making beverage bottles, especially for water, juices, carbonated drinks, etc. Although 0.2 mm thickness is quite thin, it can be used for sealing bottle necks or caps.

(2) Trays and Lids: Used for packaging fresh fruits, vegetables, deli products, etc. This thin sheet material can be made into transparent trays or lids, allowing consumers to see the contents.

(3) Blister Packaging: 0.2 mm PET plastic sheets can be used to create blister packaging for candies, nuts, small snacks, etc.

2. Pharmaceutical and Medical Product Packaging

(1) Pharmaceutical Blister Packaging: Used for packaging tablets or capsules, this thin sheet material provides protection and prevents contamination.

(2) Medical Device Packaging: Used for packaging disposable medical devices such as syringes, surgical blades, etc.

3. Electronics Packaging

(1) Electronic Component Protection: The 0.2 mm PET sheet can be used for packaging and protecting sensitive electronic components such as chips, circuit boards, etc., preventing static and mechanical damage.

4. Cosmetics and Personal Care Product Packaging

(1) Cosmetic Trays: Used for packaging transparent trays for cosmetics such as powder, eyeshadow, etc.

(2) Personal Care Product Packaging: Used for packaging personal care items like razor blades, toothbrushes, etc.

5. Stationery and Office Supplies Packaging

(1) Stationery Packaging: Transparent blister packaging for items such as pens, erasers, file folders, etc.

(2) Document Protectors: Used to make transparent document protectors or sleeves to keep documents clean and organized.

6. Toys and Small Goods Packaging

(1) Toy Packaging: Used for transparent blister packaging to display small toys or models.

(2) Gift Packaging: 0.2 mm PET plastic sheet used as part of gift boxes to enhance product display.

Due to its excellent transparency, mechanical strength, and chemical stability, the 0.2 mm PET plastic sheet is widely used in packaging for these types of products.

Processing Process of 0.2 mm PET plastic sheet

The production of 0.2 mm PET plastic sheets involves several steps, from raw material preparation to the final sheet formation. Below is an overview of the production process:

1. Raw Material Preparation

PET Resin: The primary raw material for producing PET plastic sheets is PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) resin pellets.

Additives: Depending on the requirements, additives such as antioxidants, plasticizers, colorants, and UV stabilizers can be added to enhance the sheet’s properties.

2. Drying Process

PET resin pellets typically need to be dried in a dryer to remove moisture. PET is highly sensitive to moisture, and excessive moisture can lead to quality issues in the sheets, such as bubbles and reduced transparency. The drying temperature is usually around 160°C, with a drying time of 4-6 hours.

3. Extrusion Process

Extruder: The dried PET pellets are fed into a screw extruder, where they are heated and melted. The extruder heats the solid PET pellets to a molten state, typically at temperatures between 260°C and 290°C.

Filter: The molten PET is passed through a filter to remove impurities, ensuring the purity of the material.

Die Extrusion: The molten PET is then extruded through a flat die, forming a molten film.

4. Cooling and Forming

Calendering and Cooling: The molten PET film is passed through a calender (typically a three-roll calender) to press it into a sheet of uniform thickness. The cooling rolls then cool and set the sheet. For a 0.2 mm thickness, precise control of roll spacing and cooling speed is required to ensure uniform thickness and a smooth surface.

Edge Trimming: The formed sheet passes through an edge trimming device to remove excess material from the edges.

5. Winding and Cutting

Winding: The cooled sheet is wound into large rolls for easy handling and transportation.

Cutting: The sheet can be cut into specific sizes and shapes according to customer requirements.

6. Quality Control

Thickness Testing: A thickness gauge is used to measure the sheet’s thickness to ensure it meets the 0.2 mm specification.

Surface Inspection: The sheet surface is inspected for defects such as bubbles, particles, or scratches.

Physical Performance Testing: Tests are conducted for tensile strength, transparency, and other properties to ensure the sheet meets quality standards.

7. Packaging and Storage

Packaging: The qualified sheets are packaged according to specifications to prevent damage during transportation.

Storage: The packaged sheets should be stored in a dry, shaded environment to prevent aging and contamination.

This production process requires precise equipment and strict process control. In thin 0.2mm pet plastic sheet production, consistency in thickness and surface quality is crucial. The level of automation, the quality of raw materials, and the setting of process parameters all impact the final product’s quality.

Product Advantages of 0.2 mm PET plastic sheet

A 0.2 mm PET plastic sheet offers several advantages across various applications. Here are the key benefits:
