Jump to a specific grade

PET-P

Ertalyte® PET-P is an unfilled PET polyester with excellent wear resistance, rigidity, and dimensional stability. It’s ideal for machined components like guide rails and wear strips that require precision and low moisture absorption. Suitable for food processing equipment, it meets FDA standards in both natural and black.

Shapes Offered


Ertalyte-TX

Reinforced with a built-in solid lubricant, Ertalyte® TX offers enhanced wear performance and lower friction than standard PET. It's often used for high-speed parts like bearings and sliders in automated systems where consistent motion and part longevity are essential.

Shapes Offered


FDA-Natural

When food compliance is non-negotiable, these grades shine. They're approved for direct food contact and maintain strength, stiffness, and chemical resistance in demanding food production environments. Precision components like filling valves, guides, and bushings benefit most.

Shapes Offered


Ertalyte-Blue

Ertalyte® Blue is a detectable, FDA-compliant option tailored for the food and pharmaceutical industries. Its distinct blue color makes it easy to identify if fragments ever enter a production line, while offering the same mechanical and thermal strengths as natural Ertalyte.
