Scientifically, PET is non-toxic, chemically inert, and resistant to microorganism growth, ensuring safe storage. It’s also fully recyclable, reducing environmental impact and supporting sustainability.
This component analyses the chemical composition of PET bottles using various techniques such as NMR, FT-IR, DSC and ICP-OES1. It finds that PET bottles are made of copolymers of polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene isophthalate, and contain antimony as a catalyst. It also finds that PET bottles do not have free monomers, phthalates, BPA or aldehydes.
This component measures the migration of substances from PET bottles into standard simulants under different conditions according to Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011. It finds that the migration of metals, phthalates, BPA and monomers from PET bottles is below their detection limits and permissible limits.
This component studies the effect of water stored in PET bottles on the blood hormone levels of experimental rats using ELISA technique. It finds that water stored in PET bottles does not cause any endocrine disruption in male and female rats.
