Global EPP PET
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyester, TP; Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET); Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Unreinforced
Material Notes:	PET is an unreinforced, semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyester, demonstrating dimensional stability similar to acetal, combined with the comparable wear resistance of nylon. Heavily loaded mechanical precision components subjected to sustained abrasive environments are particularly suited to this material. Key characteristics: Excellent dimensional stability High mechanical strength, hardness and rigidity Excellent wear resistance Good creep resistance Low moisture absorption Low thermal expansion Good resistance to radiant energy Good electrical insulating properties Stain resistant Suitable for food contact PET demonstrates outstanding dimensional stability, extremely low water absorption and relatively low thermal expansion. These properties are coupled to high mechanical strength, excellent creep and wear resistance, good electrical insulation and chemical resistance properties.
