Measure Transparency Level of PET Bottles with Accurate Testing Method

Measure Transparency Level of PET Bottles with Accurate Testing Method

Transparent plastics are used in a wide variety of articles such as baby bottles to mobile phones. Transparent plastics are used to make the products attractive overshadowing traditional glass products. Several manufacturers are taking advantage of the inherent quality and consistency of transparent plastic materials. Transparent plastics have many advantages such as cost efficiency, lightweight, durable and shatter-resistant products.

Industries such as packaging, Agricultural firms, Automotive and electrical components, glazing of buildings, consumer products, and so forth, are using transparent plastics to meet the demanding material specifications. Many thermoplastics give high-performance tough and transparent thermoplastic polymer offering unique combination of properties such as high impact strength, dimensional stability, and good mechanical properties and so forth.

PET plastics are general purpose and clear thermoplastic polymer known for an excellent combination of properties such as mechanical, thermal, chemical resistance along with dimensional stability. PET plastics may appear opaque, transparent, or white which depends on their crystalline and amorphous structure. Materials such as water bottles, carbonated soft drinks containers, fibers, Films are manufactured by considering the transparency properties of PET plastics.

The transparency of PET bottles and their clarity is the major indicator of the quality of PET bottles. PET preforms must be used for blowing bottles and are perfectly plastic. Transparency tests are methods used to study the transparency level of PET bottles. The purpose of a transparency tester is to analyse the level of transparency of a PET preform and ensure that it is perfect for blowing a crystal clear PET bottle.

Transparency tester is a highly accurate light source and detector arrangement to provide exact analysis of the level of transparency of the Preforms. The machine is operated manually, and the readings are represented on the digital readout. The instrument is manufactured with an LED digital readout of four-digit seven-segment configuration. With the help of this machine, the manufacturers test the clarity of PET bottles. To ensure best quality of the PET bottles, testing machines are of great need.

Manufacturers in different industries require transparent bottles for various applications. The equipment is available in digital model with a range of 0% to 100% transparency with the least count of 0.1%. Many sample products are required for the best quality assurance to the customers. With the help of this instrument the manufacturers can ensure best quality level of the PET bottles and containers.
