What is PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)?
PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate), also known as thermoplastic polyester, is a versatile thermoplastic polymer belonging to the polyester family. PET is primarily composed of two key monomers: ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. This material possesses excellent physical properties, including high strength, abrasion resistance, low moisture absorption, good chemical resistance and transparency (optical properties), and stability over a wide temperature range. PET is typically found in small granular form. Elimold offers a variety of PET materials, including PET black, PET white, PET+GF30 black, and PET+GF30 white, to meet your specific injection molding needs.
Plastic PET Properties
- Density: 1.38-1.40 g/cm³
- Tensile Strength: 50-76 MPa
- Flexural Strength: 70-140 MPa
- Impact Strength: Moderate
- Thermal Conductivity: 0.15-0.24 W/(m·K)
- Melting Point: 250-260°C
- Coefficient of Thermal Expansion: 70 x 10^-6 /°C
Main Grades of PET Plastic
Depending on the different part structures and applications, Elimold typically uses various grades of injection-molded PET materials in its manufacturing processes, including…
Standard PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)
Standard PET is the most common type of PET, widely used in numerous industries due to its excellent chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties. It is a semi-crystalline polymer, transparent, strong, and effectively blocks gases and moisture.
Amorphous PET (APET)
APET is a type of PET without a crystalline structure, making it very transparent and highly glossy. APET is mainly used in applications requiring transparency. It is not easily deformed at high temperatures, is easy to process and mold, and is very tough and resistant to chemical corrosion.
Crystalline PET (C-PET)
C-PET has a higher degree of crystallinity than standard PET, making it less transparent and having better heat resistance. Due to its ability to withstand high temperatures, C-PET is often used in heat-generating items. The higher crystallinity also makes it stronger and able to withstand greater pressure.
Biaxially Oriented PET (BOPET)
Biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BOPET) is a type of polyethylene terephthalate that has undergone biaxial stretching, resulting in higher strength, greater stability, and better light transmission. It possesses excellent tensile strength, good moisture resistance, and barrier properties.
Ethylene Glycol Modified PET (PETG)
Ethylene glycol modified polyethylene terephthalate (PETG) is a material modified by adding ethylene glycol during the polymerization process. This modification makes PETG more flexible than standard PET. It has better transparency and impact resistance than standard PET and is often used in applications requiring high durability and transparency.
Recycled PET (rPET)
rPET is made from recycled PET derived from consumer goods or industrial waste. Recycling PET reduces the environmental impact of plastic waste, conserves resources, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. rPET retains many of the properties of virgin PET, but its performance may vary slightly due to differences in recycling processes.
Engineering Grade PET
Engineering grade PET is a high-performance PET designed for demanding industrial and engineering applications. This PET is modified to improve mechanical strength, heat resistance, and abrasion resistance. It is characterized by high strength, good dimensional stability, and resistance to abrasion and chemical corrosion.
Reinforced PET
Formulating PET with glass fiber or other reinforcing materials significantly improves its mechanical properties. These grades offer higher strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability, making them suitable for engineering applications.
UV-Stable PET
Enhanced resistance to degradation caused by UV radiation, maintaining excellent clarity and dimensional stability even after repeated exposure to sunlight.
Premium PET Material Sourcing Services
Our robust supply chain ensures we source the highest quality PET materials for your project. We work directly with manufacturers and their authorized agents to provide you with top-tier PET materials for injection molding, complete with detailed technical data sheets for each material. This approach helps avoid potential problems in material sourcing. For standard applications, we recommend using our stock materials, which are both economical and efficient. However, if your project requires special materials, we can provide customized materials based on your specific requirements.
