Lighter Resins are polyethylene terephthalate produced from PTA and MEG. These are specifically designed for the production of beverage, food and other liquid containers for thermoforming. There are several LIGHTER PET polymers, designed for the specific performance requirements of different applications, including very good mechanical properties, excellent clarity, and a wide processing range on all injection and stretch blow molding machines. LIGHTER C88 is particularly suitable for bottling mineral water since it is designed specifically to minimize the formation of acetaldehyde. In general this grade is recommended for bottles for both still and carbonated mineral water. LIGHTER C88 is also suitable for the production of extruded thermoformable sheets.

LIGHTER™ S93 is a polyester polymer modified to improve infrared reheating of preforms. LIGHTER S93 provides very good mechanical properties and a wide processing range on all injection molding machines. Moreover, preforms manufactured from LIGHTER S93 provide enhanced infrared heating rates, thus improving the operation of the stretch blow molding process, either increasing the maximum output or reducing the reheat energy. LIGHTER S93 is suitable for the production of bottles for both mineral water and carbonated soft drinks.
