Advantages of PET materials

PET is a common engineering plastic. It is widely used in packaging, textiles, electronics and other fields due to its excellent performance. The following are the main advantages of PET materials:

1. Excellent mechanical properties
High strength and toughness: PET has high tensile strength and impact resistance, good wear resistance, and is suitable for manufacturing products that need to withstand mechanical stress (such as beverage bottles, films, etc.).

Good rigidity: It can maintain shape stability and is not easy to deform.

2. Excellent chemical stability
Acid, alkali, grease and most organic solvents are resistant, suitable for packaging food, cosmetics, chemicals, etc.

Good barrier properties to moisture and gas (such as oxygen, carbon dioxide), extending the shelf life of the contents.

3. Transparency and gloss
High transparency (similar to glass), high surface gloss, often used in transparent packaging (such as mineral water bottles, food containers).

Masterbatch can be added to make different colors.

4. Lightweight
Low density (about 1.38 g/cm³), light weight, reduce transportation costs, especially suitable for replacing glass or metal packaging.

5. Temperature resistance
The short-term temperature resistance can reach 120°C (such as hot filling of beverage bottles), and the long-term use temperature is about 60-80°C.

Good low-temperature performance, not easy to crack.

6. Environmental protection and recyclability
100% recyclable and reused, recycled PET (rPET) is widely used in fibers, packaging, etc.

Some countries promote PET bottle recycling through a deposit system to reduce environmental burden.

7. Food safety
Complies with international food contact material standards such as FDA and EU, non-toxic and odorless, and is widely used in food packaging.

8. Processing adaptability
Applicable to a variety of processing technologies: injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, thermoforming, etc.

Can be made into films, fibers (such as polyester), engineering plastic parts, etc.

9. Electrical insulation
Good dielectric properties, used in electronic components (such as capacitor films, insulating materials).

10. Cost-effectiveness
The raw material price is low, and large-scale production is highly economical.
