A preliminary analysis of PET barrier technologies and mechanical performance related to a 3L PET wine bottle.

摘要

he objective of this study was to test and compare Monolayer, Amosorb 2%, and Multilayer 3% PET wine jugs for package integrity and mechanical properties. In addition, two secondary package configurations were tested and analyzed. The first a shipper with load bearing inserts, the second configuration consisted of no inserts. Further, both shipping configurations and PET material have different costs associated. A Monolayer PET bottle has a savings of 17% a case compared to Amosorb and Multilayer PET bottle substrate. Shippers not utilizing inserts are
