Description
Polyethylene Terephthalate Grade 845 (PET BG845) – Bottle Grade
High-clarity thermoplastic polyester with the highest intrinsic viscosity in the bottle-grade portfolio – Prime choice for ultra-large containers, industrial carboys, and heavy-duty bottles | Produced by Shahid Tondgooyan Petrochemical | Supplier: MizanPetroGas
Product Introduction
Polyethylene Terephthalate Grade 845 (PET BG845) is the premium bottle grade within the product portfolio of Shahid Tondgooyan Petrochemical Company. Formulated with the highest Intrinsic Viscosity (IV) among standard commercial bottle grades, it is specifically engineered for producing ultra-large plastic containers, industrial carboys, 5-to-20-liter water bottles, and wide-mouth jars requiring exceptional mechanical strength. Produced via advanced Solid State Polymerization (SSP) technology, this grade exhibits extended polymer chain lengths, translating directly to superior mechanical strength, outstanding creep resistance, and extended structural durability in blow-molded containers.
PET is a thermoplastic polyester with the repeating molecular formula $(C_{10}H_8O_4)_n$, synthesized via the condensation polymerization of pure terephthalic acid (PTA) and monoethylene glycol (MEG). Grade 845 represents the pinnacle of polymer engineering in the PET bottle family: polymer chain lengths are maximized to deliver exceptional mechanical properties, crystalline optical clarity, and robust processing stability. MizanPetroGas Company supplies this strategic polymer with full quality assurance, guaranteed authenticity, and verified manufacturer Certificates of Analysis (COA).
Pricing and Purchasing PET BG845
The commercial pricing of PET Bottle Grade 845 is primarily determined by global feedstock prices for PTA and MEG, foreign exchange dynamics, seasonal demand cycles across the packaging sector, and producer allocation policies. MizanPetroGas streamlines material procurement for converting operations. For real-time pricing inquiries, verified technical datasheets, and immediate inventory dispatch, please contact our polymer sales specialists.
Chemical Structure and Manufacturing Process
PET is produced through the condensation reaction of two primary feedstocks: Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) and Monoethylene Glycol (MEG). The production cycle at Shahid Tondgooyan Petrochemical includes the following stages:
PET BG845 Production Steps at Shahid Tondgooyan Petrochemical
- Esterification Reaction: PTA and MEG react at elevated temperatures (240–260°C) to produce bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET) monomer with water as a condensation by-product.
- Melt Polymerization: BHET undergoes polycondensation under high temperature (270–290°C) and high vacuum to yield amorphous PET with a baseline intrinsic viscosity ($IV \approx 0.60–0.64\text{ dL/g}$).
- Solid State Polymerization (SSP) – Extended Phase: Amorphous PET chips are subjected to temperatures below their melting point (200–220°C) under high vacuum or inert gas ($N_2$) flow for an extended residence time to increase the intrinsic viscosity to the highest range in the bottle-grade class (0.84–0.88 dL/g). This step simultaneously strips out residual acetaldehyde (AA).
- Final Crystallization & Packaging: The polymer chips undergo final crystallization and are packed into standard 25 kg multi-layer moisture-barrier bags.

Handling, Dehumidifying & Processing Guidelines
- Hygroscopic Sensitivity: PET is naturally hygroscopic. Absorbed moisture exceeding 0.004% (40 ppm) causes hydrolytic degradation of the polymer backbone during melt extrusion, triggering significant IV loss, reduced mechanical toughness, and bubble defects.
- Mandatory Pre-Drying: Chips must be dried prior to injection at 160–170°C for 4 to 6 hours to achieve moisture levels below 30 ppm. Use desiccant dehumidifying dryers with an operating dew point $\leq -40\text{°C}$.
- Injection Processing Temperature: 270–290°C (avoid temperatures above 295°C to prevent thermal degradation, AA formation, and yellowing).
- Preform Mold Chilling: 6–15°C (cold mold for rapid quenching to maintain amorphous clarity).
- Stretch-Blow Molding Temperature: 95–110°C (optimum preform reheating window for uniform bi-axial orientation).
- Warehouse Storage: Store in a cool, dry area protected from direct UV exposure and moisture. Keep bags hermetically sealed until feeding. Recommended storage temperature: 10–30°C.
- Shelf Life: Stored in original unopened packaging under standard conditions, the material maintains optimal processability for up to 12 months from manufacture date.

Pre-Production Operator Checklist
Pre-Processing Quality Control Checklist for PET BG845
- ✅ Moisture Verification: Ensure resin moisture is below 30 ppm prior to extruder intake.
- ✅ Dryer Temperature: Set desiccant dryer to 160–170°C (under-drying causes hydrolysis; overheating causes surface oxidation).
- ✅ Dryer Dew Point: Confirm dew point is $\leq -40\text{°C}$.
- ✅ Residence Time: Maintain 4–6 hours drying time (closer to 6 hours for high-IV BG845).
- ✅ Hopper Purging: Use dry nitrogen or dry air purge in the feed hopper to prevent moisture re-absorption.
- ✅ Melt Temperature: 270–290°C — never exceed 295°C to avoid thermal degradation and elevated acetaldehyde.
- ✅ Hot Runner Maintenance: Ensure regular cleaning of screws and hot runners to eliminate dead zones and black specks.
- ✅ Preform Mold Chilling: Set chiller water to 6–12°C for rapid amorphous preform quenching.
- ✅ Blow Temperature: Maintain preform reheat temperature at 95–110°C to prevent pearlescence or thermal haze.
- ✅ Blowing Pressure: Regulate blow pressure (typically 20–40 bar) aligned with stretch ratios and preform designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the main difference between BG845 and BG825, and which should I choose?
The key difference is the Intrinsic Viscosity (IV): BG845 provides an IV of 0.84–0.88 dL/g compared to 0.82–0.86 dL/g for BG825. This increase translates to longer polymer chains and enhanced mechanical load-bearing capacity. Choose BG845 for 5-to-20-liter carboys, heavy industrial containers, or projects requiring wall thickness reduction (lightweighting). For standard 2-to-10-liter containers and general jars, BG825 is an economical option.
2. Can I blend BG845 with other PET grades?
Blending resins with different IV ratings is not recommended. Blending dissimilar grades causes a broad, bimodal molecular weight distribution and melt viscosity fluctuations, leading to processing instability and uneven wall thickness. If blending is unavoidable, perform pilot trials and review results with our technical specialists.
3. Is BG845 suitable for Carbonated Soft Drink (CSD) bottles?
No. For carbonated beverages, BG821 (BG-820 S) is optimized with an appropriate IV (0.80–0.84 dL/g) and enhanced $CO_2$ barrier retention. BG845 is over-engineered for small carbonated beverage containers and its higher viscosity can create processing challenges on high-speed CSD blow-molding lines.
4. What are the Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ) and delivery terms?
MOQ, logistics schedules, and pricing are coordinated based on allocation volumes and delivery locations. Contact our commercial department for official proforma invoices, current stock availability, and multimodal freight arrangements.
5. Does MizanPetroGas provide technical line-setup support for BG845?
Yes. Our polymer technical support team assists clients with injection and blow-molding parameter setup, troubleshooting molding defects (such as haze, pearlescence, gate crystallization, or stress whitening), and optimizing production cycles.
