Industrial PET Resin for Fiber Production
High viscosity PET chips with a viscosity number of 78 ml/g or higher, compounded for melt spinning into polyester staple fibers and filament yarns. The superior drawability and tensile properties make it suitable for textile applications, but it still falls under this tariff item as primary form PET.
