PETP / Ertalyte® 

Ertalyte^® is an unreinforced, semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyester based on polyethylene terephthalate (PET-P). It is characterized as having the best dimensional stability coupled with
excellent wear resistance, a low coefficient of friction, high strength, and resistance to moderately acidic solutions. Ertalyte^®’s properties make it especially suitable for the manufacture of precision mechanical parts which are capable of sustaining high loads and enduring wear conditions. Ertalyte^®’s continuous service temperature is 210°F (100°C) and its melting point is almost 150°F higher than acetals. It retains significantly more of its original strength up to 180°F (85°C) than nylon or acetal.

In addition, Ertalyte^® PET-P offers good chemical and abrasion resistance. Its low moisture absorption enables mechanical and electrical properties to remain virtually unaffected by moisture. Ertalyte^® PET-P can be machined to precise detail on standard metal working equipment.

Ertalyte^® is FDA compliant in natural and black. Natural Ertalyte^® is also USDA, 3A-Dairy and Canada AG compliant. Ertalyte^® is an excellent candidate for parts used in the food processing and equipment industries.
