PET polyethylene terephthalate plastic, PET is a milky white or light yellow highly crystalline polymer with smooth and glossy surface. Creep resistance, fatigue resistance, good friction resistance, small abrasion and high hardness, has the largest toughness among thermoplastics; good electrical insulation properties, less affected by temperature, but poor corona resistance. Non-toxic, weather resistance, good stability against chemicals, high moisture absorption, drying before molding is necessary. Resistant to weak acids and organic solvents, but not resistant to heat and water immersion, not resistant to alkali.
PET resin has high glass transition temperature, slow crystallization, long molding cycle, long molding cycle, large molding shrinkage, poor dimensional stability, crystallized molding is brittle, low heat resistance, etc.
Through the improvement of nucleating agent and crystallizing agent and glass fiber reinforcement, PET has the following characteristics in addition to the properties of PBT:
1. the highest heat deflection temperature and long-term use temperature among thermoplastic general engineering plastics. 2;
2. Because of the high heat resistance, the reinforced PET is hardly deformed or discolored when dipped in a soldering bath at 250℃ for 10s, which is especially suitable for the preparation of electronic and electrical parts for soldering;
3. 200MPa bending strength, 4000MPa modulus of elasticity, good creep and fatigue resistance, high surface hardness, mechanical properties similar to thermosetting plastics;
4. Since the price of ethylene glycol used in the production of PET is almost half of that of butylene glycol used in the production of PBT, PET resin and reinforced PET are the lowest price among engineering plastics and have high cost performance.
5. After curing, PET resin is an elastomer with excellent waterproof, shockproof adhesive, high and low temperature resistance, and it is specially used for bonding engineering plastics because of the research of the molecular structure of the resin by the bull's eye technology.
