Optical Clarity: PET sheet provides high transparency (up to 90% light transmission) and gloss, ideal for showcasing products in retail packaging.
Mechanical Strength: With a tensile strength of 50-70 MPa and impact resistance up to 2 kJ/m², it withstands rigorous handling and transportation.
Thermal Stability: While PET softens around 80°C, heat-resistant grades (CPET) can endure temperatures up to 120°C, suitable for oven-safe containers.
Chemical Resistance: Resistant to acids, alkalis, and solvents, it preserves product integrity in harsh environments.
Environmental Friendliness: Fully recyclable (meets FDA and EU standards), PET sheet can be reprocessed into new products with minimal degradation. Incineration produces only CO₂ and water, avoiding toxic emissions.
Applications
Packaging: Dominates food and beverage packaging (trays, clamshells, bottles) due to its barrier properties and safety for direct food contact. Medical packaging (syringe trays, blister packs) benefits from its sterilization compatibility.
Electronics: Used in protective covers, LCD panels, and conductive trays for static-sensitive components.
Construction: Applied in roofing membranes, sound insulation, and decorative panels for its durability and weather resistance.
Advertising: High-gloss PET sheets are ideal for signage, light boxes, and point-of-sale displays.
Automotive: Utilized in interior trim, instrument panels, and battery separators for electric vehicles.
