Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET):

• Properties: PET is known for its high transparency, strong mechanical strength and excellent moisture barrier properties. It has high chemical resistance and thanks to its gas barrier properties, it maintains product freshness in food and beverage packaging. It is heat resistant and offers good impact protection thanks to its rigid structure. Being recyclable makes PET a preferred choice for environmentally friendly applications.
• Uses: PET is most commonly used in the production of beverage bottles, food packaging and textile fibers (polyester). It is also used in a variety of applications such as packaging films, microwaveable trays, engineering components and 3D printing filaments.

PET is an indispensable material for packaging and engineering, providing high performance and sustainability. Thanks to its recycling capability, it makes a significant contribution to reducing environmental impact.
