PET Resin
Allzone Trading supplies pet resin to plastics processors, compounders and manufacturing plants in Toronto, the GTA, Ontario, Quebec and across Canada. PET resin is supplied in bottle, sheet and fibre grades selected primarily by intrinsic viscosity and drying requirements. Grade and specification are confirmed against supplier documentation at quotation.

Buyer intent coverage
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin — what it is, where it is used, how it is chosen
PET is specified by intrinsic viscosity (IV) rather than by melt index, and that single number separates bottle-preform grades from sheet, strapping and fibre grades. Canadian buyers are typically preform injection moulders and sheet extruders, and increasingly buyers blending recycled content, where the practical questions are IV retention after drying and the acetaldehyde level acceptable for the filled product.
Primary uses
- Injection moulding of bottle preforms for water, CSD and food
- Sheet extrusion for thermoformed trays, clamshells and lidding
- Strapping, monofilament and technical fibre extrusion
Applications
- Beverage and food packaging preforms and bottles
- APET / RPET thermoformed food trays and produce packaging
- Industrial strapping and non-woven and fibre applications
Advantages
- High clarity with good gas barrier relative to polyolefins
- Established recycling stream, and recycled content is widely used in sheet
- Good stiffness-to-weight, which supports light-weighting programmes
Limitations to consider
- Hygroscopic — inadequate drying causes irreversible IV loss and brittleness
- IV drops through processing; the arriving IV is not the finished-part IV
- Recycled content changes colour, IV spread and processing consistency
How to choose the right grade
- Specify target intrinsic viscosity and the process it must survive
- Confirm drying capability before selecting a higher-IV grade
- State recycled-content target, because it drives grade and colour tolerance
- For food contact, confirm the regulatory declaration required for the filled product
- Exact specification is confirmed against supplier documentation at quotation.
Typical grades
- Bottle / preform grades
- Sheet and thermoforming grades
- Strapping and fibre grades
- Recycled (rPET) grades
Comparable materials — how Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin sits against alternatives
- PP for hot-fill and microwaveable rigid packaging
- HDPE for opaque bottles where clarity is not required
- PLA where a compostable claim governs the specification
Comparable-material reference. Grade selection is confirmed at RFQ against your process.
Procurement coverage
How to specify, order and receive Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin
Written for procurement, quality and technical buyers in Canada and the United States. No numeric price, MOQ, stock or lead-time value is published — those are confirmed per shipment in the quotation and against the confirmed batch.
How buyers specify at RFQ
- Intrinsic viscosity (IV) target and acceptable range
- Acetaldehyde limit for the filled product
- Recycled content percentage required
- Colour (b* value) tolerance
- Process and drying capability at the plant
Packaging options (industry-standard)
- 25 kg bag — the standard format for small and medium converters
- Octabin or jumbo / FIBC bag for higher-volume moulding and extrusion lines
- Bulk silo truck or rail hopper where the plant has compatible intake and drying
- Packaging options and available pack sizes are confirmed with each quotation.
Storage & handling
- Store sealed, dry and off the floor; moisture pick-up shows up as splay, voids and property loss
- Keep hygroscopic polymers in their original sealed packaging until they go to the dryer
- Rotate stock and record lot numbers against each production run for traceability
- Dry to the supplier's stated moisture level immediately before processing; PET absorbs moisture quickly once opened
Documentation available
- Technical data sheet (TDS) for the exact grade offered, including the declared melt index and density
- Safety data sheet (SDS) in the format required for Canadian import
- Certificate of analysis (COA) against the confirmed production lot
- Food-contact or regulatory declaration where the end use requires it
- Documentation is confirmed per batch at quotation; availability depends on the grade and supplier offered.
RFQ checklist for pet-resin-canada
Include these fields to receive an accurate Canada-landed quotation
- Base polymer and the process the material runs on (extrusion, injection, blow moulding, thermoforming)
- Machine type, output rate and the processing temperature window
- End application and whether the finished part is food-contact, potable-water or outdoor
- Annual volume and expected per-shipment quantity
- Packaging format your intake and feeding system can receive
- Documentation required per shipment
- Delivery province or port of discharge
- Target IV and the incumbent grade being matched
- Recycled content requirement and any brand-owner specification behind it
- Reference grade names are widely used as shorthand in enquiries. They are treated here as search language only: an equivalent is confirmed by comparing declared datasheet values and by a line trial, and no grade is presented as a drop-in replacement for another.
- Buyers searching for an alternative or second-source supplier should state the incumbent grade and the property they are matching, because a like-for-like comparison depends on the declared datasheet values and on line trials, not on the material name alone.
Technical & procurement detail
Where pet resin is used+
PET resin is supplied in bottle, sheet and fibre grades selected primarily by intrinsic viscosity and drying requirements. It is quoted for the specific process, machine and end-application described in the enquiry, because performance depends on the processing window rather than on a single published value.
Grades are not interchangeable+
Different grades of pet resin are supplied and quoted as separate specifications. A grade supplied for one process, resin system or end-use is not presented as suitable for another. State the resin, process, machine type and end-application in your enquiry so the correct grade and documentation are reviewed with the supplier.
How specifications are confirmed+
Allzone does not publish assumed purity, melt index, loading level, particle size, origin, certification, regulatory approval, packaging or price values. Grade, specification and documentation are confirmed in writing against supplier technical data sheets and safety data sheets before an order is placed.
Frequently asked questions
What grade of pet resin do you supply?+
The grade and specification are confirmed at quotation against the supplier technical data sheet. No specification or certification value is published in advance.
Can I request a technical data sheet and a safety data sheet?+
Yes. Both the supplier technical data sheet and the safety data sheet for the quoted grade are provided on request and should be reviewed before purchase and use.
Do you deliver pet resin across Ontario and Quebec?+
Yes. Freight is arranged across Toronto, the GTA, Ontario, Quebec and Western Canada, and the delivery method is confirmed with the quotation.
What quantities can you supply?+
Quantities are reviewed per enquiry, from single pallets to full container loads.
