Polyester (PET) Rods and Sheets

Ertalyte PET Characteristics

• High mechanical strength
• Very good creep resistance
• Low and constant coefficient of friction
• Excellent wear resistance (comparable to or even better than nylon grades)
• Very good dimensional stability (better than polyacetal)
• Physiologically inert (suitable for food contact)
• Excellent stain resistance
• Better resistance to acids than nylon and polyacetal
• Good electrical insulating properties
• Good resistance against high energy radiation (gamma-and X-rays)

Ertalyte (PET) natural / black

The specific properties of this virgin crystalline Polyester PET make it especially suitable for the manufacture of mechanical precision parts which have to sustain high loads and/or are subject to wear.

Ertalyte TX (PET + solid lubricant) pale grey

Ertalyte TX is a polyethylene terephtalate compound incorporating a uniformly dispersed solid lubricant. Its specific formulation yields a premium, internally lubricated bearing-grade Polyester. Ertalyte TX Polyester has not only an outstanding wear resistance, but offers in comparison with Ertalyte an even lower coefficient of friction as well as higher Pressure-Velocity capabilities.

Ertalyte PET Applications

Heavily loaded bearing (bushings, thrust washers, guides, etc) dimensionally stable parts for mechanisms of precision (bushings, slideways, gears, rollers, pump components), insulating components for electrical engineering.
