Pet Grades

PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) is a versatile thermoplastic polymer that belongs to the polyester family. It is known for its excellent combination of properties, making it one of the most widely used plastics in the world.

Features and Benefits of PET:

  • Mechanical properties
  • Transparency
  • Chemical resistance
  • Barrier properties
  • Dimensional stability
  • Recyclability

Jump to a specific grade

Ertalyte-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


Semitron-ESd-300-PET

Designed for static-sensitive environments, Semitron® ESd 300 PET prevents electrostatic discharge while offering the mechanical benefits of PET. It's used in semiconductor and electronics facilities across Canada for trays, jigs, and handling systems that require both precision and ESD protection.

Shapes Offered


SUSTADUR-PET

SUSTADUR® PET is a strong, chemically resistant grade engineered for dimensionally stable parts. It machines cleanly and holds tight tolerances, making it ideal for gears, insulators, and bushings used in industrial and electronic systems.

Shapes Offered


SUSTADUR-PET-TF

This PET variant is modified with PTFE for smoother wear surfaces and reduced friction. It’s used in sliding components and machine parts exposed to continuous motion, particularly where lubrication must be minimized in clean or dry environments.

Shapes Offered


TECADUR-PET-Natural

TECADUR® PET Natural is a high-purity polyester grade used in components that demand strength, minimal moisture uptake, and dimensional consistency. It’s commonly selected for food-grade parts, sensor housings, and mechanical spacers.

Shapes Offered


TECAPET-Black

TECAPET® Black provides UV resistance with a durable black finish, making it suitable for exposed parts that still need chemical and dimensional stability. It’s often used in packaging machinery, labeling equipment, and food-grade contact areas.

Shapes Offered


TECAPET-TF-Grey

This self-lubricating PET grade includes internal additives to reduce surface friction and improve long-term wear. It performs well in parts like timing screws, guide rails, and rollers where clean, maintenance-free operation is important.
