oPTI™ Bottle Technology

PTI has developed the first lightweight foamed polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle/jar blow molding process. The oPTI™ (pronounced “opti”) brand name, the process is based on MuCell® technology licensed from Trexel, Inc. The oPTI™ bottle technology provides...A distinctive new visual presence. Retains the recycling benefits that inclusion in the clear PET waste stream. White or silver, blue and green hues also can be used since those color streams already exist in traditional PET recycling. Lightweighting of up to 5 percent. Significant light barrier characteristics up to 95 percent reduction in transmitted light. In addition to PET, the foam bottle technology is applicable to other resins such as polylactic acid (PLA) and polyethylene naphthalate (PEN). Potential applications include a wide range of bottles and jars in food, beverage, personal care, household chemical, etc. markets.
