Polyethylene terephthalate

PET for short, is a widely used thermoplastic with a variety of applications.

Properties of PET:

  • High tensile strength:
    PET has a high tensile strength, which makes it suitable for applications with structural requirements.

  • Good barrier layers:
    PET can be used in multilayer composite materials to provide a good barrier against oxygen, water vapor and other external influences. 

  • Resistance to chemicals:
    PET is resistant to many chemicals, which makes it suitable for applications in the chemical industry or for the storage of certain chemicals.

  • Low water absorption:
    PET only absorbs small amounts of water, which results in low moisture absorption.

Applications of PET:

PET is used in various industries, including:

  • Electronics industry: PET films are used in the electronics industry for display protection films and flexible printed circuit boards.

  • Medical industry: PET is used in the manufacture of devices, for example.

PET is one of the most widely used plastics in the world due to its versatile properties and applications.
