PET is a partly crystalline thermoplastic Polyester based on Polyethylene-Terephthalate. This material features outstanding dimensional stability as it is virtually unaffected by ambient moisture. A low coefficient of friction and excellent wear resistance combined with low creep and high E-modulus of elasticity in tension makes it the choice material for moving parts. Hot water resistance is low but it has better resistance to acids than Nylon or Acetal. AE1400BL is produced without centreline porosity and is approved for contact with food (FDA and EU 10/2011). As it is more rigid than other thermoplastics, please consult our machining guidelines.
