1.What is PET sheet?
PET (Polyethylene terephthalate ) is a general-purpose thermoplastic in the polyester family. PET plastic is lightweight, strong and impact-resistant. It is often used in food processing machinery due to its low moisture absorption, low thermal expansion, and chemical resistant properties
2.What are the advantages of PET sheet?
PET has higher strength and stiffness than PBT. As compared to PBT, it also has a higher heat distortion temperature (HDT).
PET is very strong and lightweight & hence easy and efficient to transport.
PET has a broad range of use temperatures, from -60 to 130°C.
PET has low gas permeability, in particular with carbon dioxide.
PET sheet doesn’t break or fracture. It is practically shatter-resistant and hence, a suitable glass replacement in some applications.
PET is known for its good moisture barrier properties.
PET products exhibit excellent electrical insulating properties.
PET material is recyclable and non-toxic. PET plastic sheet is approved as safe for contact with foods and beverages by the FDA, Health Canada, EFSA & other health agencies.
3.What is the disadvantages of PET Sheet?
Impact strength is lower than PBT.
Due to the slow crystallization rate, the formability is lower than that of PBT.
Affected by boiling water.
Easily attacked by alkalis and strong alkalis.
Poor combustion performance.
Attacked by ketones, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, and dilute acids and bases at high temperatures (>60°C).
4.What are the main applications of PET Sheet?
Polyethylene Terephthalate/PET is used in several packaging applications as mentioned below:
Because Polyethylene Terephthalate is an excellent water and moisture barrier material, plastic bottles made from PET are widely used for mineral water and carbonated soft drinks
Its high mechanical strength, makes Polyethylene Terephthalate films ideal for use in tape applications
Non-oriented PET sheet can be thermoformed to make packaging trays and blisters
Its chemical inertness, together with other physical properties, has made it particularly suitable for food packaging applications
Other packaging applications include rigid cosmetic jars, microwavable containers, transparent films, etc.
