Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
PET TF Grey
PET is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic material with high hardness, rigidity and strength with excellent sliding behaviour and low sliding wear. Due to its good creep strength, low moisture absorption and outstanding dimensional stability, PET is excellently suited for use in complex parts with the highest requirements for dimensional accuracy and surface quality.
Properties:
- high strength
- high rigidity and hardness
- very low moisture absorption
- very low creep tendency
- very high dimensional stability
- very good machinability
- low sliding friction and sliding wear
- resistant to hydrolysis (up to +70 °C)
- physiological harmlessness
- not suitable for contact with media containing > 50% alcohol
- good adhesion and welding ability
Applications:
- Mechanical Engineering
- Automotive Industry
- Precision Mechanics
- Food Technology
- Transport and conveyor technology
- Heavy loaded bearings
- dimensionally stable precision parts
Colours: white and black (improved UV resistance)
PET TF grey
PET, which has been modified with PTFE to further improve the wear and sliding properties of the material.
