Overview
PET (semi-crystalline thermoplastic) is a strong, stiff engineering plastic with excellent machining characteristics, chemical resistance, and bearing and wear properties.
PET is often used for food processing machinery applications where low moisture absorption, low thermal expansion, resistance to staining, or resistance to cleaning chemicals is required.
