PROPERTIES AND MACHINING OF PET (PETP)

1. Structure Poly(ethylene terephthalate) is a thermoplastic saturated polyester formed by the polycondensation of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol. The partly crystalline form of the material is used in the instrumentation industry for its favourable properties

De-energising heat treatment

Most engineering plastics semi-finished products (rods, plates, tubes) are heat treated - stress relieved - during their manufacture to ensure maximum dimensional accuracy and working load capacity.

Machining of plastics

Machining of plastics is usually necessary when the number of pieces to be produced is so small that traditional plastic processing methods (e.g. injection moulding) are not economical due to their high tooling costs, or
