Ertalyte® PET

Ertalyte® is a high-performance polyethylene terephthalate polyester (PET) produced by Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials. With its exceptional wear resistance, low coefficient of friction, high strength, and resistance to moderately acidic solutions, Ertalyte® is the ideal material for applications that require sustained high loads and high-temperature performance.Features:Excellent wear resistanceLow coefficient of frictionHigh strength and toughnessResistant to moderately acidic solutionsRetains more of its original strength up to 180° F / 85° C than nylons or acetalsBenefits:Capable of sustaining high loadsIdeal for applications requiring high-temperature performanceExtends the service life of componentsLow maintenance and repair costsSuitable for use in harsh environmentsApplications:PharmaceuticalFood processing and packagingOil and gasBearings and structural applicationsAny application requiring high load and high-temperature performance.

Ertalyte® TX Polyethylene Terephthalate Polyester PET is an unreinforced, semi-crystalline grade that offers superior dimensional stability, excellent wear resistance, a low coefficient of friction, high strength and rigidity, outstanding stain resistance, and great chemical and abrasion resistance. This grade is designed to withstand high pressure and velocity conditions and environments with soft metal and plastic mating surfaces where noise abatement is critical.Features:Superior dimensional stabilityExcellent wear resistanceLow coefficient of frictionHigh strength and rigidityOutstanding stain resistanceGreat chemical and abrasion resistanceBenefits:Withstands high pressure and velocity conditionsLow moisture absorption rate ensures mechanical and electrical properties are unaffected by moistureLow wear rate compared to unmodified polyestersIdeal for use in environments with soft metal and plastic mating surfaces where noise abatement is criticalApplications:High pressure and velocity applicationsFood processing and packagingPharmaceuticalOil and gas industriesMechanical precision parts that must endure high loads and wear conditions.
