Overview
PET is the standard grade of the PET family in the engineering plastics group. It is used in applications such as electric-motor and coil parts, headlamp reflectors and instrument parts, small-appliance handles and housings. The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.
Typical properties
| Property | Typical value |
|---|---|
| Density | 1,37 g/cm³ |
| Melting point | 250–255 °C |
| Tensile strength | 55–75 MPa |
| HDT (1.8 MPa) | 65–75 °C (takviyesiz) |
Tensile strength is measured to ISO 527, melt flow rate to ISO 1133, heat deflection temperature to ISO 75 (1.8 MPa); flammability class per UL94. Depending on supplier and grade, values can fall outside this range.
Applications
- Electric-motor and coil parts
- Headlamp reflectors and instrument parts
- Small-appliance handles and housings
- Chair and furniture fittings
Documents
The supplier's technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS) for PET are sent by e-mail with the quoted grade; because the same code has different sheets at different suppliers we do not publish a single file on the site. To see the sheet in advance, request it with the link below.
