Maximising PET Performance with GPC Testing

Maximising PET Performance with GPC Testing

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is a widely used polycondensate known for its versatility in industries such as food and beverage packaging and textiles.

However, even minor changes in molecular weight during processing can impact product quality and reliability.

Measuring and understanding the molecular weight distribution of PET using GPC testing will help you ensure consistent quality, optimise processing, and avoid costly material defects in PET applications.

Smithers' Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) testing service helps you understand how processing conditions, material degradation, and batch-to-batch consistency affect PET’s properties.

Download our full case study below to learn how Smithers’ GPC testing can help you ensure PET consistency and performance. You can also explore more case studies.
