Polyethylene Terephthalate, commonly abbreviated as PET, shares properties akin to POM (Polyoxymethylene). We offer PET in various forms, including plates, rods, and tubes, providing versatile solutions for a multitude of applications.

The semicrystalline PET material offers high wear resistance and is among the best semicrystalline materials in standard engineering plastics that have the best wear resistance. We also offer PET + lubricant (PET TX) and have lower friction and are suitable as wheels with lower surface pressure as well as sliding strips, shoes, etc. PET TX is slightly greyish in color.

PET has good creep properties, dimensionally stable and low moisture absorption. PET is well suited where POM does not work due to wear resistance. Good properties to keep tight tolerances. The Ra value in processing offers food-grade applications with requirements of Ra 0.8.
