PET Plastic (Polyethylene Terephthalate)
PET Plastic (Polyethylene Terephthalate)
A clear, lightweight plastic commonly used for beverage containers and transparent packaging.
PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) is a clear, strong, and lightweight thermoplastic widely used for beverage bottles, food jars, and transparent packaging. Identified by resin code #1, PET offers excellent gas barrier properties and is the most recycled plastic globally. While PET excels in clarity and barrier performance, it has lower chemical resistance and temperature tolerance than HDPE, limiting its use in industrial applications.
