I. What is Hot Fill and PET Hot Fill?
Hot fill is a packaging process used mainly for juices, teas, sports drinks, sauces, and other beverages or foods that require pasteurization for shelf stability. The product is filled into the bottle while hot to kill bacteria and then sealed immediately.
PET hot fill bottle is a type of plastic bottle made from PET (polyethylene terephthalate) that is specially designed to withstand the high temperatures used in hot filling processes—typically between 85°C and 95°C (185°F to 203°F).
II. What Makes a PET Hot Fill Bottle Different?
Standard PET bottles can deform at high temperatures. Hot fill PET bottles are engineered with:
+ Thicker walls or panel designs to handle heat and pressure changes.
+ Crystallized necks to improve thermal resistance.
+ Vacuum panels to accommodate volume shrinkage when the product cools.
III. Advantages of PET Hot Fill Bottle
+ Lightweight compared to glass
+ Shatterproof
+ Cost-effective
+ Clear visibility for marketing appeal
