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
This internally lubricated grade incorporates a uniformly dispersed solid lubricant; demonstrating improved frictional properties, outstanding wear resistance and excellent pressure-velocity characteristics over the basic grade. |
