Abstract
Experimental Study on Draw-Ability of Filament Yarns Produced from Recycled and Bottle Grade PET
Highlights
A wide range of goods, such as mineral water, soft drinks, and other foods are kept in PET containers, and many more are being added to the list every day
A further increase in the draw ratio of up to 4 caused frequent tear of the filament yarn, while in the fiber grade PET (FG-PET) sample this trend is not considered in the draw ratio of 3.2
The increase in the draw ratio is accompanied by continuity increase in tenacity, initial modulus, and structural properties
Summary
A wide range of goods, such as mineral water, soft drinks, and other foods are kept in PET containers, and many more are being added to the list every day. This condition is set to continue unless a high-performance biodegradable polymer is found. According to new market predictions, global consumption of PET bottles will increase to almost 19.1 million tons by 2017 [4]. They are sorted by type (PET, HDPE, LDPE, etc.) and color. It should be pointed out that PET chips or flakes have to be dried before melt spinning; otherwise the molecular weight will be reduced from 1⁄2 to 1⁄3 of the initial molecular weight [6]
