PET plastic film stands for the chemical name polyethylene terephthalate. PET is often abbreviated as PETE, PETG, APET, PETP or PET-P. Similar to tissue paper commonly known as “Kleenex,” PET plastic film may be referred to by the brand names Dacron (USA), Terylene (UK), or Lavsan (Russia).
PET plastic film has many properties that make it suitable for many applications. In appearance, PET is transparent. It’s a bit flexible but still sturdy and doesn’t tear easily. PET film is light and easy to shape when melted.
The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, production methods, and safety information of PET film:
Physical and chemical properties of PET plastic film
- PET film has excellent physical properties such as high strength, abrasion resistance, stretch resistance, tear resistance, and temperature resistance.
- It has good transparency, optical properties, and electrical insulation properties.
- PET film has good chemical stability and can resist corrosion from most common chemicals.
Use of PET plastic film
- Printing industry: PET film can print labels, stickers, business cards, etc.
- Electronic industry: PET film can make electronic products like screens and solar panels.
- Construction industry: PET film can be used in glass, walls, curtains, and other fields.
Preparation method for PET plastic film production
PET film is usually produced by extruding polyester resin. Polyethylene terephthalate granules are melted, extruded during preparation, and then cooled to form a continuous film.
Notes when using PET film
PET film is relatively safe under normal conditions and does not produce toxic gases or substances. However, it can release harmful substances such as formaldehyde under high-temperature conditions.
PET film has good chemical resistance, but it still needs to be monitored for corrosiveness when exposed to certain chemicals, such as strong acids and alkalis. For protection, it is recommended that thicker PET film be used.
Overview of PET plastic film
- High mechanical strength and hardness
- Excellent creep resistance
- The friction coefficient is low and will not change.
- Good abrasion resistance (better than nylon)
- Excellent dimensional stability (better than Polyacetal)
- Don’t get dirty
- Good thermal and electrical insulation
- Better acid resistance than Nylon or Polyacetal
- Physiologically inert, suitable for use in the food industry
- Resistance to high energy radiation (gamma rays and X-rays)
