About PETUK
Straight answers,dependable supply
We work closely with production, procurement, and quality so specifications stay clear and deliveries stay dependable.
On the ground
A straightforward view of how we work with clients once programmes are live—delivery, documentation, and continuity.
-
Traceability
Processing and records built for your QA habits—clear change logs, batch thinking, and evidence you can file.
-
Approvals that matter on the line
ISO 9001–aligned discipline so food-contact and industrial programmes start from a credible baseline.
-
IV enhancement technology
IV specified during batch SSP when your application needs it—not a generic resin trade, but tuned intrinsic viscosity.
Who we are
Polymer extrusion with manufacturing discipline
PETUK combines technical know-how with practical discipline—so trials are controlled, documentation is usable, and scale-up is planned.
We support clients across packaging, construction, industrial, and specialist sectors where material performance, dimensional stability, and traceability matter.
Audited signals
Scopes vary by programme—use this list to open a precise conversation with your PETUK contact.
- ISO 9001
- Quality management system underpinning how we run changes, records, and responsibilities.
- EFSA food-grade
- Food-contact capable materials where your specification and declarations need to line up with regulation.
- IV enhancement technology
- Intrinsic viscosity specified during batch SSP when your application needs tuned PET behaviour—not undifferentiated commodity grades.
Quality & compliance — we will confirm the applicable certification body, standard, and scope with you at enquiry stage.
Facilities & capabilities
Extrusion, solid state polymerisation, and polymer crystallisation
Our core processing routes on site—aligned to your specification, IV targets, and analytical needs.
-
Extrusion
High-volume polymer extrusion with strand pelletising—continuous profiles and efficient production across our plant.
-
Solid State Polymerisation (SSP)
Chain extension under vacuum in dedicated reactors—with melt viscosity sampling and client-specified intrinsic viscosity (IV).
-
Polymer Crystallisation
Structured polymer organisation analysed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) for crystallisation and melting insight.
How we work
Principles you will feel in every project
-
Clarity
Specifications and changes are documented so engineering, quality, and operations stay aligned.
-
Control
All outputs are monitored and recorded to ensure they remain within agreed parameters.
-
Continuity
Delivery and communication stay tight through production runs.
