Chemical resistance and characteristics

Chemical resistance

Le PET présente une bonne résistance aux acides dilués, alcools et huiles minérales à T° ambiante. Sensible à l'hydrolyse en milieu acide ou basique à chaud. Dégradation progressive par les UV sans stabilisants. Le PETG est plus résistant au stress-cracking chimique.

Recommended applications

Bouteilles alimentaires et boissons, emballages sous vide, films haute barrière, fibrannés polyester, composants automobiles (PETG), équipements médicaux non stérilisables, textiles techniques (polyester)
