As a result, it finds applications in high moisture, food handling, medical and marine components.Īlthough it has many benefits as an unfilled material, PET can be filled with solid lubricants to enhance its bearing and wear properties. Materials such as PTFE Teflon and is available in some standard sizes. It absorbs minimal amounts of moisture and can be cleaned easily. To overcome this shortage of strength, this study proposes a new compression molding sheet, composed of carbon fibers and thermoplastic resin. PET (Thermoplastic Polyester) is non hygroscopic and is FDA compliant. Standard colors are black and (opaque) milk white, while custom colors are available as custom runs. Rod stock comes ground to diameter to accommodate through spindle turning. Both sheet and rod are available in many thicknesses and diameters. It too is easily machined with conventional metal working equipment and can be held to very close tolerances with experience. It has slightly higher chemical resistance than that of the acetal family of thermoplastics. Keywords: mechanical properties (tensile strength, impact resistance, hardness), thermoplastic polymers (polycarbonate, polypropylene, high density poly. ![]() PET (polyethylenetarapthalate) is an engineering thermoplastic polyester that provides excellent strength and stiffness.
