PET

PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) is used in the production of packaging materials, containers for liquids and products, films, fibers, medical devices, machinery construction, building materials, and more.​

Discover Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a premier thermoplastic in the polyester category, known under various proprietary names. Created through polycondensation of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid, PET shifts from solid, transparent amorphous state to opaque crystalline state. It gains transparency with heat, retaining it after rapid cooling through the “crystallization zone.” Intrinsic viscosity, tied to polymer length, influences crystallization rate. Apart from its visual appeal, PET offers robustness, wear resistance, and remarkable dielectric properties.

An imperative determinant of PET’s attributes is its intrinsic viscosity, intricately linked to the length of its polymer chains. As intrinsic viscosity ascends, the pace of crystallization descends. Beyond its optical allure, PET exudes commendable mechanical robustness, resistance to wear, and remarkable dielectric proficiencies.
