About Us Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is a thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family. Polyethylene terephthalate is a polymer that is formed by combining two monomers called modified ethylene glycol and purified terephthalic acid. Polyethylene Terephthalate is also known as - PET
- aka PET
- PETE
- PETP
- PET-P
PET Plastic is a very important raw material used in man-made fibers. PET is a lightweight form of clear polyester and also a very strong material. Being a polymer, polyethylene terephthalate's molecules consist of long chains of repeating units only containing the carbon (C), oxygen (O) and hydrogen (H) organic elements. In world’s total PET production, 60% is for synthetic fibers with bottle production accounting for around 30% of global demand. |
