Polyester or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a high-performance, crystal clear thermoplastic made from ethylene glycol and purified terephthalic acid (PTA). In comparison with other common plastic films, PET film has higher tensile strength, excellent dimensional stability, low moisture absorption, and good retention of physical properties over a fairly wide temperature range. It also has superior UV resistance, excellent electrical properties, good optical clarity, high gloss, and good gas barrier but only moderate moisture barrier properties. It is the ideal film for quality printing and lamination and a good choice for a high performance plastic films and sheets. It has a relative high melting point, which makes it suitable for applications that require sterilization at high temperatures.
PET film is often an excellent choice for more demanding applications in food and nonfood-film applications. Major uses include microwave, and medical packaging, plastic wrap, tape backing, printed films, plastic cards, protective coatings such as solar and safety window films, release films, transformer insulation films and flexible printed circuits.
PET is also used as an aroma barrier film (e.g. coffee and tobacco packaging). This type of film is sometimes metallized by vapor deposition of metals, which further improves the barrier against oxygen, water vapor and aroma loss.
Due to the low odor, high chemical resistance and inertness, many PET grades are suitable for packaging applications under FDA regulations.
