PET Film Properties and Uses

PET film (Polyethylene terephthalate, often abbreviated PET) is the work horse of the polyester film family. It is the most common thermoplastic polymer that is used in fibers for clothing, containers for liquids and foods as well as thermoforming in manufacturing. In textile applications, PET is referred to by its common name, Polyester, but in packaging applications it is almost always referred to as PET. 

PET film is used in just about very market segment from Aerospace to Window Treatments. With its popularity it can be sometimes labeled as a "commodity", but do not be fooled. There is technology and chemistry required to produce this "high performance commodity", the more you are educated the more you will realize the cost savings and universal use of this Film, either PET Film rolls or PET film sheets.

We thrive at the challenge of finding the &#;right&#; combination of materials for your next project. With so many PET film roll combinations, we have an array of different choices to help you define these decisions, all while giving you the option of having us hold Inventory for you. Below are some of our offerings and where they are commonly used. Please

Every day you step into your car you are surrounded by nonwoven fabric. From seat trim, floor mats, truck bed liners or the cabin air filter, all are made from a nonwoven fabric. The largest use is in the carpeting of automobiles, trucks and planes. Another use in the trunks of vehicles. Where the material can form perfectly to the contour of the truck, providing moisture and sound deadening benefits. Often White PET film is used as a barrier to block out the contents of what is inside a package, as well as providing a UV block from sunlight.

Barrier Films (Beverage & Food)

Properties of Barrier Film:

Moisture blocking
Distinct look and presentation

When you had your Tea this morning, the tea bag you threw away was made from a nonwoven. The benefit here is, the tea bag is very strong when wet. The same for coffee filters . When these nonwovens are layered upon themselves, a precise tensile strength can be produced. Other common uses: Baby bibs, cosmetic applicators, vacuum cleaner bags, laundry dryer sheets, floor dusting cloths, cheese wrap.

Antimicrobial

Properties of an Antimicrobial Coating Film:

Less irritating than talcum powder, less toxic than table salt
Prevents cell multiplication
No instances of resistant bacteria
Non volatile

Photovoltaic Backsheets (Solar)

Just about every small battery that is made, has a nonwoven separator that is needed in-between the anode and cathode. In this case, the separator is lightweight and thin enough to allow ions to move freely from one electrode to another. The same can be found in circuit board. Other common uses: heat and sound insulation, fuel cells, cable wraps.

One of the most cost effective uses of a nonwoven shows up by using the many different variations of wipes. Used in machine shops for oil and grease, as well as baby wipes that come in contact with skin. It is the most cost effective use of a nonwoven due to not having to launder or wash the material. Other uses: medical, industrial, clean-room, bath room.

Properties of an Antimicrobial Coating Film:

Ultimate UV protection
Stability under freeze-thaw-conditions and damp heat
Superior bond strength
Can be Fluorinated or Non-fluorinated

FAQ About PET Film

As a top leading manufacturer and supplier of release liner and face stock materials for pressure-sensitive adhesive, I am here to answer your questions about PET film.

 

 

 

Q1: What is PET material?

 

PET (also abbreviated PETE) is short for polyethylene terephthalate, the chemical name for polyester. The basic building blocks of PET are ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid, which are combined to form a polymer chain. The resulting spaghetti-like strands of PET are extruded, quickly cooled, and cut into small pellets. The resin pellets are then heated to a molten liquid that can be easily extruded or molded into items of practically any shape.

PET was first synthesized in North America in the mid-s by DuPont chemists searching for new synthetic fibers. DuPont later branded its PET fiber as "Dacron." Today, more than half of the world's synthetic fiber is made from PET, which is called "polyester" when used for fiber or fabric applications. When used for containers and other purposes, it is called PET or PET resin.

 

Q2: What is mylar paper?

 

Mylar paper is paper that is coated with or made from a polyester film BoPET (Biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate). Mylar isn&#;t the polyester film itself but the brand of BoPET manufactured in the United States and the UK. Mylar is durable and has a high tensile strength; meaning it can be stretched for a long period of time without breaking. Its reflective and transparent nature make it a great accent for decorative projects as well as many other practical uses.

 

Q3: What is PET coating?

 

 

Coated PET film

Want more information on Insulation PET Film Supplier? Feel free to contact us.

 

PET coating, also called coated PET film, is a plastic film that has been coated with material on one or two sides of the film. The type and amount of coating applied to determine the physical, mechanical, optical, thermal, electrical and chemical properties.  Coated films may also be a combination of coatings and treatments, such as coating one side / treating the other side depending on end-use application requirements.

 

Q4: How many types of PET film are there?

 

&#; PET high-gloss glossy film

&#; PET film

&#; PET transfer film

&#; PET Reflective Film

&#; PET chemical coated film

&#; PET anti-static film

&#; PET Heat Seal Film

&#; PET heat shrink film

 

Q5: Can you print on PET film?

 

There are many different grades of polyester film, and some are produced specifically to be printable, using specific methods particular to those film&#;s chemical properties. Firsta has a number of specific polyester film solutions for many different printing methods, both conventional and digital. If you&#;re looking for laser-printable or inkjet-printable films, please check out our product page.

 

Q6: What is PET film used for?

 

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 metalized 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.

Polyester film is sold in various types, thicknesses, widths with properties tailored to meet specific requirements of particular end uses.

 

Q7: What is the difference between BOPET(BOPP) and PET?

 

 

Coated BOPP film

 

BOPET(BOPP) film literally means biaxially stretched polyester film, and PET means polyester chips, which are divided into three categories, large bright polyester chips, full matte polyester chips, semi-matte polyester chips, these three It is the raw material for the production of polyester film (PET film). BOPET film and PET film can be said to have no difference because the production process of PET film is bidirectional stretching, which is the industry standard for BOPET film.

 

Q8: Is PET a moisture barrier?

 

PET commonly is used for water bottles, but also is FDA-approved for food packaging, so it can be used to create some clamshell packaging. It provides strong moisture resistance and it&#;s a strong, shatterproof plastic and an affordable option as well.

 

That's all for today. If you have any other questions, please feel free to come to me and I'll be willing to answer them for you!

PET Release Liners: Silicone & Fluorosilicone Coatings

High mechanical strength, thermal resistance (well above 160 °C), dimensional stability, flatness and high thickness constancy are some of the most important features of PET release liners.

These features, combined with a wide range of release values specifically offered by Siliconature, make PET product line one of the most effective silicone release films in most critical PSA applications.
