They are all packaged in functional attractive plastic containers
produced on machines made by ASB.
|
|
PET bottles as containers for carbonated drinks first made their
appearance in America in the 1970s. At about the same time, in 1978,
Nissei ASB Machine Co. Ltd., Japan started as a maker of stretch
blow molding machines for the production of plastic bottles.
|
Plastic bottles are now in general use and many materials such as
PEN, PC and PP, in addition to PET, are used. With the great increase
in the number of uses for bottles, we are always dealing with new
subjects. We at ASB are not satisfied to rest on our laurels as pioneers
of bottle making machines, but continue to develop the possibilities
of the product. |
Features of PET
· Transparency
Its clear gloss finish enhances the appearance
of the contents. (PET can also be colored if
desired.)
· Hygienic
|
 |
|
PET is free of taste & smell, and will not contaminate or impair
the contents of the bottle in any way. PET complies with the USA's
FDA (Food & Drug Administration) food packaging standards, as
well as those of Japan and other countries. |
·
Strong
Durable, totally safe and shatter proof. |
| ·
Barrier
Good gas barrier prevents product oxidation, or tainting by odor
absorption. |
| ·
Light Weight
About one tenth the weight of similar sized glass bottles. This
makes it convenient for consumers, dramatically reduces distribution
costs, & minimizes use of resources. |
·
Design
Easily formed into attractive designs. |
·
Recyclable
Used PET bottles can be washed, broken into flakes & reshaped
as PET bottles or employed as material for strapping, carpeting,
fiber filling, etc. |
| ·
Non-toxic
PET is made from the same three elements (carbon, oxygen and hydrogen)
as paper, and .. contains no toxic
substances. When burned it produces carbon-di-oxide gas & water,
leaving no toxic residues. |
