HIPF
HIPF is actively pursuing its policy of continuously increasing the technical proficiency of its graduates. For achieving this objective the academic and industrial experience of our Japanese Experts and training staff was put together to produce the most updated textbooks and workbooks for plastics fabrication training in HIPF. The books are designed to efficiently impart valuable knowledge and help the trainees retain, recollect and practice the information contained in them. Every textbook was acclaimed for its excellent subject matter, good illustrations and photographs. In addition to these books HIPF periodically publishes two newsletters. ‘The Plastics Link’ containing recent developments and trends suitable for the Saudi Plastics industry and ‘The Oasis’ which highlights the important events in the institute for distribution to all the staff and trainees of HIPF.
AA- SCAVENGER
for
PET
b ot t l e s
Mineral water in PET bottles sometimes has a sweet-fruity taste. This is due to a chemical called acetaldehyde that forms during the production and storage of PET bottles. When acetaldehyde migrates from the bottle into the beverage, even very small amounts can be tasted and smelt - at least in mineral water. In beverages with a more intense flavor like Cola or other soft drinks, consumers don’t notice acetaldehyde.
Polyone introduced a additive which trade name is Oncap AA scavenger which
reduces acetaldehyde acid (AA) in PET by up to 82 percent and solves AA- related taste and odor issues, making it ideal for FDA- regulated food and beverages. Oncap AA scavenger additive is less costly and can be used at lower rates than traditional AA- reducing solution. This additive is available in pellet form. AA- scavenger overcomes significant technology challenges associated with the performance and processing of PET products.
