Virgin PET Chips — Food-Grade PET Resin (Sheet & Bottle Grade)

Virgin PET chips are polymer pellets produced from virgin monomers. These chips are engineered to provide high clarity, consistent intrinsic viscosity (IV) and controlled melt properties, making them ideal for APET sheet, blow-molded bottles, thermoforming and other food-grade applications. JB Polypack sources sheet-grade PET granules used to manufacture top-quality food-grade APET sheet.

What Makes Virgin PET Chips Different

Purity & Clarity

Manufactured under controlled conditions for optical clarity and uniform color.

Consistent Performance

Tight IV and melt-index tolerances for predictable processing.

Regulatory Suitability

Virgin resin simplifies compliance for food and medical packaging.

Typical Specifications

Grade: APET Sheet grade / Bottle grade / High-IV grades

Color: Natural, with optional masterbatch coloring

Pellet Size: Typical industry pellet form (confirm with supplier)

Certification: Food-contact certificates available on request

Applications

APET Sheet

For trays, clamshells and thermoformed packaging.

Blow-Molded Bottles

Containers for beverages, personal care and pharma.

Medical Packaging

High-purity applications requiring strict compliance.

Storage & Handling

Keep dry and avoid contamination. Store in sealed bags or silos; avoid long storage
in humid conditions to maintain optimal quality and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the main difference between virgin PET chips and rPET chips?
A: Virgin PET chips are produced from virgin monomers with consistent, controlled specs and clarity; rPET chips are recycled and may vary in IV, color and properties depending on feedstock and process. Regulatory and performance requirements determine which is appropriate.

Q: Can virgin chips be blended with rPET?
A: Yes — blending virgin and recycled PET is common to balance cost and performance; compatibility and end-use must be validated in trials.
