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.
