PETP

Engineering PLASTIC

PETP, also known as polyethylene terephthalate, is a thermoplastic polyester used in various industries and applications. Also known by the name Ertalyte, this type of polyester has several unique properties and benefits, making it a popular choice for diverse applications.

PETP PROPERTIES

PETP stands out due to its unique combination of properties. With high mechanical strength and rigidity, polyethylene terephthalate can withstand heavy loads while maintaining its shape and dimensions. The material distinguishes itself from other wear-resistant construction plastics with its high tensile, flexural, and compressive strength. It is one of the hardest plastic materials, does not suffer from creep (cold flow), and absorbs virtually no moisture. However, the material's relative brittleness means it is less suitable for impact loads. Other properties of polyethylene terephthalate include:

  • Excellent chemical resistance
  • Good wear resistance
  • Food safety
  • Biocompatibility

In short, the unique combination of mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties makes polyethylene terephthalate a valuable material in various sectors.

PETP APPLICATIONS

Due to its excellent properties, PETP plastic is used in various applications. A prime example is the role of polyethylene terephthalate in mechanical engineering, where it is used to manufacture precise gears. The excellent mechanical strength and wear resistance of PETP ensure these gears can withstand long-term loads while meeting precision requirements. Applications of polyethylene terephthalate extend to sectors such as the food industry, medical industry, and many other fields. It is also self-extinguishing and food-safe.
