Carbonated Soft Drink Bottles
The machinery is mostly two-stage technology which allows for very high volume of a few selected designs

Mineral Water Bottles
Various types of machinery may be employed, but high volumes of a limited selection of designs are prevalent.

Multiple Applications In Food and Other Industries
The machinery is a single-stage technology which allows for smaller runs of a vast variety of designs LABPLAS fits into the third category with a design range approaching 130 including designs in the development stages. These designs are often tested in the mature PET markets such as the UK, New Zealand, and Australia, before being introduced in Malaysia. This ensures the designs are already accepted by consumers and that the designs can be produced in a consistently high quality.

The customer can have a specially designed container for his exclusive use, and in such this design with our computer specialist designs may be developed within 12 to 16 weeks, counting from concept idea to a finished container.

LABPLAS has taken a unique approach to PET containers as the company was formed solely to produce high quality PET products. Other plastic mould are traditionally HDPE and PVC mould who have, often rectuctantly, formed small PET units under pressure from existing customers. This may result in resources being stretched and, eventually, preference may be given to the core business in HDPE and PVC products.

In LABPLAS financial and human resources are dedicated to PET products, and the expertise in focused on the one thing we set out to do, with high quality PET containers from high grade and virgin resins without the use of inferior resins or regrinds or any other cost cutting gimmicks which may jeopardise our high quality producer image.


Advantages of PET (PolyEthylene Terethalated)

Recyclable
Due to establishedred recyclability, the momentum is growing among PET container applications around the world, and the continuing advancement in processing, as well as materials technology, is sure to make these containers ever more popular and more competitive price wise.

Safe To Use
FDA approval for non-toxicity and a first ever for the use of post consumer material in food contact applications are unique among plastic products.

Good Gas Barrier
The transmission of CO2 gas is negligible, the more so compared to other plastics which means the nature and taste of the content will remain unaffected for long periods of time.

Good Chemical Resistance
The chemical resistance is remarkably strong to all but a very few chemicals which makes PET ideal for not only food, but also medicines and, generally, almost any other commodity required.

Shatter Proof Material
Further safety is evident through household applications where children may handle this shatter proof container without risk of injury.

Crystal clear Finishing
The crystal clear transparency allows the consumer to verify that the content appears palatable and is free from foreign items.

Precise Moulding Accuracy
precise neck of the containers not only avoids leakage but also ensures the ability to reseal and the balance content later. The excellent barrier, The excellent barrier characteristics and perfect seal allow diverse products to stay fresh after opening and subsequent closing.

Light Weight Advantages
The lightweight appearance have created many friends among consumers and retailers alike. The products can be handled far better and more economically throughout by lowering transport, warehousing and breakage costs. Also increasing the amount of products which can be accommodated on the important weight restricted shelf space with the retailers.
The intricate technical aspects required to consistently produce a high quality container combined with substantial tool costs and large investment in production facility, almost certainly ensure that products in PET are not copied by unscrupulous companies, known to copy branded names packed in HDPE / PVC and paper.

PET containers are easilyrecycled into other non-food products but even if disposed of by burning, the residual gases and ashes are inoffenssive and similar to those of burning paper since the organic material comprises largely of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. PET containers are exempted from strict EEC environmental regulations as the only plastic containers carrying farming chemicals
