Project: Tritan™ Bottle
Application: Sparkling water - CSD       
Country: Israel  
Bottle volume: 1Lt
Application: Water-carbonated soft drinks
Country: Israel
Bottle volume: 1 liter
Project Brief: The request for PTI first and SIPA later was to develop a Tritan ™ preform that could be produced on standard systems and then blown with machines available on the market.
