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.
