| Primary Polymer | Material | Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polypropylene (PP) with barrier layer options | Common beverage-contact polymers |
| Wall Thickness | mm | 0.35 – 0.90 mm (dependent on size & reinforcement) | Design-dependent |
| Net Can Weight | grams | 12 – 22 g (typical for lightweight 330–500 mL designs) | Measured per empty finished can |
| Density | g/cm³ | PET: ~1.38; PP: ~0.90 – 0.92 | Material datasheets |
| Tensile Strength | MPa | PET: 50 – 80 MPa; PP: 30 – 40 MPa | ASTM D882 (tensile testing of thin plastic sheets) |
| Impact Resistance (Drop) | Drop height / result | Typical survival: 0.5 – 1.5 m drop using filled can testing; design-dependent | ISTA 2A / ISTA 3A style protocols |
| Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) | cc/m²·day @ 23°C, 50% RH | Plain PET: 2 – 30; with barrier (EVOH/SiOx): 0.01 – 1 | ASTM D3985 (coulometric method) |
| Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR) | g/m²·day @ 38°C, 90% RH | Plain PET: 1 – 4; with barrier coatings: 0.1 – 1 | ASTM F1249 or ASTM E96 |
| Carbonation Compatibility | Maximum CO2 (vol) | Up to 4.5 vol CO2 achievable with appropriate seal and neck design | Industry carbonation benchmarks |
| Pressure Resistance (Internal) | kPa (psi) | 200 – 500 kPa (29 – 72 psi) depending on geometry & reinforcement | Burst testing per custom QA |
| Thermal Resistance | Filling / sterilization temp | Hot-fill up to 85°C (short duration); retort generally not recommended for standard PET without special grades | Process-dependent; consult polymer thermal limits |
| Shelf Life (Ambient) | Months | 6 – 18 months typical (depends on barrier, beverage type, and headspace control) | Stability studies / accelerated aging |
| Recycled Content Compatibility | % Post-consumer recycled (PCR) | Up to 30% PCR readily; higher blends possible with targeted formulations and quality control | Food-contact PCR guidelines and screening |
| Regulatory Compliance | Food contact regulations | Designed to meet common regulations (e.g., FDA food-contact guidance, EU Regulation (EU) No 10/2011) when appropriate grades and linings are used | Verification per jurisdiction required |
| Surface Treatments / Barrier Options | Examples | EVOH multilayer, SiOx/AlOx coatings, polymeric barrier layers, internal lacquer for flavor protection | Chosen based on shelf-life and beverage chemistry |
| Typical Quality Tests | Measures | Tensile, burst, leak test, OTR, WVTR, sensory migration screening, accelerated shelf-life | Standards-driven QA programs |
| Estimated Climate Footprint | g CO2e per 330 mL can (approx.) | Approx. 40 – 120 g CO2e depending on material choice, recycled content and supply chain (life-cycle estimate) | LCA range; case-by-case assessment recommended |
| Recommended Filling Temperature | °C | Cold-fill: 4 – 25°C; Hot-fill: ≤85°C for short cycles with suitable polymer grades | Depends on beverage processing |
| Typical Production Lead Time | Weeks | 6 – 14 weeks from tooling to regular production depending on tooling complexity and certification | Supply-chain dependent |
| Migration / Safety Limits | Overall migration | Designed to comply with overall migration limits (e.g., ≤10 mg/dm² or local regulatory equivalents) when using approved food-contact materials | Regulatory testing required for final configuration |
