PET-TECAPET
TECAPET®/1400® are both unreinforced, semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyester derived from polyethylene terephthalate. Their excellent wear resistance, low coefficient of friction, high flexural modulus, and superior dimensional stability make it a versatile material for designing mechanical and electro- mechanical parts. Because TECAPET®/1400® has no centerline porosity, the possibility of fluid absorption and leakage is virtually eliminated.
