Regardless of your plastic needs, our expert engineering team will work closely with you to ensure your custom solution has the right design, material, and size specifications.

Polyethylene terephthalate polyester (PET-P) is a high strength, resilient, and dimensionally stable thermoplastic polyester that demonstrates good resistance to general wear, moisture, and moderate acid solutions. Its high melting point also makes it a suitable material for producing precision parts. Additionally, PET-P is used in manufacturing as parts for the food, beverage and pharma industries. The material is available in different formulations and forms, each of which exhibits different advantageous characteristics and best use cases.

What Are the Benefits of PET-P?

When used in plastic parts and components, PET-P demonstrates several manufacturing advantages. In addition to its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, the material holds its shape well after being extensively machined. Applications that demand dimensional stability and FDA compatibility to food and beverages benefit greatly from the use of PET-P

In general, PET-P offers:

  • Excellent dimensional stability
  • Excellent stain resistance
  • Good wear resistance
  • High strength and rigidity
  • Low moisture absorption

Altogether, these qualities make the material ideal for a wide range of applications.

For companies looking for a greener alternative to other plastic materials, PET-P is a good choice due to its high recyclability. As a thermoplastic, PET-P, once heated past its high melting point, re-liquefies. This quality allows manufacturers to remold the material into new products. For products not sent to recycling centers (such as water bottles that people throw into the trash instead of recycling), the inertness of the material eliminates the risk of leaching and biological degradation. Additionally, PET-P products can be crushed flat to take up less space in the landfill.

Applications of PET-P

PET-P finds application in a variety of industries, including

  • Food and beverage processing
  • General industrial
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Transportation
