Product Description

PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) rods are semi-finished engineering plastics that stand out with their high mechanical strength, low moisture absorption rate, and superior dimensional stability. They are particularly preferred in machining applications requiring tight tolerances due to their high rigidity.

PET rods can be used in the production of many machine parts as an alternative to engineering plastics such as POM C (Delrin) and PA6 (Kestamid). Thanks to their low moisture absorption, they maintain dimensional stability and offer reliable performance in parts requiring precision machining.

Material Properties

PET is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic that preserves its form even under mechanical stress thanks to its high rigidity and dimensional stability, making it extremely suitable for precision part manufacturing.
