Kyiv and the surrounding region have the highest population concentration and, as a result, the largest consumer market in Ukraine. Manufacturing facilities are also concentrated here. These include major production sites such as drinking water bottling companies “Etalon” and mineral water producer “Ukrainochka”, as well as the PepsiCo plant, which manufactures Lipton iced teas and “Chudo” products, and the enterprise of the “Milk Alliance” group supplying “Yagotynske” dairy products to the market. All of them use PET packaging, which makes demand for preforms in Kyiv stable and active.
International standardization of PET preforms
The production of polymer packaging is strictly regulated. Compliance with international standards guarantees packaging quality and sealing reliability. In addition, preforms are classified by weight, depending on the volume of the final product (bottle), wall thickness, and even purpose (product density, carbonation level).
For carbonated liquids, preforms are usually 15–25% heavier because bottles must withstand internal pressure:
- for containers of 0.33–0.5 L, preforms weighing 22–26 grams are typically used (for comparison, non-carbonated products require 15–18 g);
- for 1 L bottles, the optimal weight is 35–38 g;
- for 1.5 L bottles — 38–42 grams to withstand pressure of 4–5 bar;
- for 2–2.5 L bottles — plastic bottle preforms weighing 45–52 g with reinforced bottom areas are required.
If the weight is below standards, the polymer becomes excessively thin during blow molding. As a result, under gas pressure or heat exposure (sunlight or warm storage conditions), bottles may deform, lose stability, or burst. Therefore, it is important to choose preforms that comply with international standards — this ensures the reliability of the finished packaging after blow molding.
