Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin is a polyester resin known for its versatility across a wide range of applications. It is produced through the polycondensation of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid, resulting in a polymer with notable clarity, strength, and chemical resistance.
PET resin is predominantly used for manufacturing PET bottles via injection and blow molding processes. Its physical properties, which can be adjusted by stretching during film production, make it suitable for PET films in packaging and industrial products. Additionally, PET is utilized in flat panel displays, synthetic fibers for clothing, and as a material for food containers and medical products due to its transparency, strength, and cost-effectiveness compared to other plastics.
PET resin boasts excellent transparency, toughness, and electrical insulation properties. It is resistant to water and certain chemicals but has limited heat resistance, typically up to 80°C for heat-resistant variants. Despite its good gas barrier properties, it is somewhat permeable to gases, affecting the shelf-life of contained products. PET can be machined and bonded with specific adhesives, though machining may affect its clarity.
PET resin's properties can be tailored through processing techniques, leading to two main types:
PET resin is produced via direct polymerization or ester exchange methods. Its versatility extends to other polyester resins, like polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), which is favored in textiles for its durability and elasticity.
