Virgin Polyester Chips
Virgin Polyester Chips covers polyester pellets produced from primary feedstock rather than recovered polymer. Polyester chains contain ester linkages; thermoplastic pellets and reactive hydroxyl- or carboxyl-functional resins are distinct supply forms.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
The distinguishing feature is polyester pellets produced from primary feedstock rather than recovered polymer. Separate melt-processable pellets from reactive polyols and coating resins before comparing viscosity. For pellets, drying and intrinsic viscosity affect processing. For reactive resins, functionality and equivalent balance determine network formation. Equal mass does not mean equal reactive equivalents or the same finished properties.
What turns activity into demand
Molding and extrusion consume pellets; reactive coatings and polyurethane systems consume resins according to solids and functional equivalents.
The commercial boundary
Separate polymer mass, formulated solids and solvent. Pellets, polyols and coating resins are different transaction forms.
Can polyester feedstocks be substituted on the family name alone?
