Polyethylene Terephthalate (2009 Program)

The chemistry, process technology and production economics for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are presented.  Conventional PET technology is compared to several “improved” licensable PET processes. Of particular interest is a speculative analysis of Eastman’s IntegRex process on both stand-alone and close-coupled bases.  Regional PET S/D forecasts are also provided.
