Plastic welding rods PET - Polyethylene terephthalate
PET (outdated PETP) has a high breaking strength and dimensional stability. Further advantages are the sliding behavior and the wear resistance. Known fields of application are plastic containers, bottles, textile fibers and films. PET is also used in machinery and vehicle construction.
Polybutylene terephthalate (PET) is a thermoplastic and is formed by polycondensation. For PET there are strong intermolecular forces. The molecule is constructed linearly without crosslinking. These are the prerequisites for fibers and semi-crystalline regions. This results in a high breaking strength and dimensional stability above 80°C. PET has low impact strength but good sliding and wear characteristics. PET can be recycled very well. It can be processed with all processes customary in thermoplastics, such as welding, extrusion and injection molding. The melting point of PET is about 250°C to 260°C, the continuous use temperature is 80°C to 110°C.
