PET - Polyethyleneterephatalate
The material is polyester with a relatively high density. PET comes either as amorphous (shapeless) or as a semi-crystalline thermoplastic. Typical properties of semi-crystalline terephthalate sold by AFINIS Group® include hardness, stiffness, strength, excellent sliding properties and high wear resistance (compared to POM in wet or dry environments). Thanks to its good flowability, low moisture absorption and excellent dimensional stability, PET plastic material is extremely suitable for applications where complex parts with the highest requirements in terms of dimensional accuracy and surface quality are needed. The thermal properties of PET support good temperature stability and dimensional stability as well. The company AFINIS Group® sells it in the form of standard warehouse semi-finished products for further processing.
