With a new oval bottle base for flat PET containers, Sidel is increasing container stability by up to 25 per cent. The base is also compatible with rPET.<\/p>\n

Sidel<\/a> presents the StarLite HPC bottle base, a new Oval bottle base alternative for flat PET containers<\/strong>. It contributes to optimum performance and is also compatible with up to 100 per cent recycled PET (rPET). The new bottle base not only increases container stability by up to 25 per cent, but also optimises bottle weight and energy consumption, reduces production costs and greenhouse gas emissions and ensures rapid amortisation.<\/p>\n

Bottle base ensures improved stability<\/h2>\n

The new geometry of the completely flat bottle base is Intelligently structured<\/strong>. Its anti-sway design is based on a continuous 360-degree contact surface that improves the tilt angle and can be combined with structural ribs and an oval push-up.<\/p>

A more sustainable and cost-effective flat container<\/h2>\n

The StarLite HPC bottle base can be used with opaque as well as with transparent PET resins<\/strong> offers different options for container design and is also compatible with up to 100 per cent rPET. The asymmetrical, structured base design improves material distribution, prevents unforeseen bulging of the base and helps to reduce the weight of the bottles - for example, 0.5 g of PET can be saved on the base of a 500 ml container.<\/p>\n

The improved base cooling technology for mould and tool design Optimises the cooling of the bottle bases during stretch blow moulding<\/strong> and, depending on the bottle shape, format and weight, can prevent the base of the bottle from cooling down after stretch blow moulding.<\/p>
