PET Industry - Catalysis

High-purity Catalytic Materials for Polyester Synthesis

Understanding PET and Catalysis

PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) is one of the most versatile polymers globally, used in bottles, fibers, films, and engineering plastics. Its synthesis involves two key steps: esterification (or transesterification) and polycondensation. Catalysts play a pivotal role in accelerating the polycondensation reaction, reducing energy consumption, and ensuring the formation of high-molecular-weight PET with stable properties.
 

Antimony-based Catalysts

In industrial production, antimony-based catalysts have become the preferred choice due to their balanced performance—high catalytic activity, low toxicity, and compatibility with PET processing requirements. As a leading developer of antimony-based materials, Luoyang Haihui New Materials provides tailored solutions that align with the core needs of PET manufacturers.

Science Behind Our Catalysts: Ensuring Superior PET Quality

The performance of PET largely depends on the catalyst’s ability to control molecular weight distribution (MWD). The narrow MWD achieved by high-purity antimony-based catalysts ensures its uniform processability, excellent mechanical properties, and thermal stability. Haihui’s catalysts undergo rigorous purification (purity ≥ 99.5%) and control particle morphology through proprietary processes, which can avoid interfering with MWD and catalyst “agglomeration”.

Why Antimony-Based Catalysts for PET?

Antimony-based catalysts, such as antimony trioxide (Sb₂O₃) and ethylene glycol antimony (EGSb), are preferred in PET production for several key reasons:

High Catalytic Activity

They significantly speed up the polycondensation reaction, reducing energy consumption and production time.

Controlled Reactivity

Ensure uniform molecular weight distribution in PET, enhancing product consistency.

Thermal Stability

Resist high temperatures during polymerization, minimizing side reactions and impurities.

Cost-Effectiveness:

Offer optimal performance at a competitive cost, balancing efficiency and production economics.

Haihui’s Antimony Catalysts in PET Production

Luoyang Haihui New Materials Co., Ltd., a leading high-tech enterprise with 43 patents (including 3 invention patents), specializes in antimony-based materials. Our products, such as ethylene glycol antimony and antimony trioxide, are widely adopted in PET industrial catalysis:

Ethylene Glycol Antimony (EGSb)

Soluble in ethylene glycol, it ensures uniform dispersion in the reaction system, leading to PET with high transparency and mechanical strength. Ideal for food-grade packaging and high-quality films.

Antimony Trioxide (Sb₂O₃)

A cost-effective catalyst with excellent thermal stability, suitable for large-scale PET production, including bottle-grade and fiber-grade products.

Antimony Catalysts in PET

Yes. When used within standard dosages, antimony leaching is far below international safety limits (e.g., EU: <0.05 mg/kg), ensuring safety for food and beverage packaging.

Our catalysts reduce polycondensation time by 15-20% compared to conventional alternatives, lowering energy consumption and increasing production throughput.

Absolutely. Our technical team offers on-site guidance, process optimization, and troubleshooting to ensure optimal catalyst performance.
