Ertalyte­® PET-P

Ertalyte® is an unreinforced semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyester based on polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The specific properties of virgin Ertalyte® make it particularly suitable for the manufacture of precision mechanical parts, which must withstand heavy loads or be subject to wear. This material is an exceptional candidate for parts used in the food processing and packaging industry.

• High mechanical strength, stiffness, and hardness.
• Very good creep resistance.
• Low and constant coefficient of friction.
• Excellent wear resistance (comparable to or even better than Nylon grades).
• Very good dimensional stability (better than Polyacetal).
• Excellent stain resistance.
• Better resistance to acids than Nylon or Polyacetal.
• Good electrical insulating properties.
• Physiologically inert (suitable for food contact).
• Good resistance to high energy radiation (gamma- and X-rays).
