Ertalyte® Sheets

PET-P Round Rods

Ertalyte® is an unreinforced, semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyester based on polyethylene terephthalate. It has considered the best dimensional stability with excellent wear resistance, a low coefficient of friction, high strength, and resistance to moderately acidic solutions. Ertalyte®'s properties make it especially suitable for the manufacture of precision mechanical parts which are capable of sustaining high loads and enduring wear conditions. Ertalyte® has a continuous service temperature of 210F (100C) and its melting point is almost 150F higher than acetals. It retains significantly more of its original strength up to 180F (85C) than nylon or acetal.
