PET is short for its chemical name: polyethylene terephthalate, the chemical name for polyester. PET is often abbreviated as PETE, PETG, APET, PETP or PET-P.
PET plastic has many properties, it is a clear, transparent, strong, and lightweight plastic with a variety of household and industrial applications. PET plastic is one of the most widely used types of plastic and is also the most widely recycled plastic. It is somewhat flexible, yet still strong and will not tear easily. It is lightweight and can be easily shaped when molten.
Common Plastic Materials
Different plastic materials have unique properties and applications due to their different chemical compositions and structures.
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
Transparent and tough, widely used in beverage bottles, food containers and fibers (such as polyester fibers).
Polypropylene (PP)
Has a high melting point and is suitable for food containers heated in microwave ovens. It is also commonly used to make automotive parts, fibers and household appliances.
Polyethylene (PE)
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) has high strength and chemical resistance and is often used to make milk bottles, detergent containers and pipes. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is soft and transparent and is often used to make plastic bags, films and container lids.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
Strong and durable, it is often used in building materials such as pipes, flooring and window frames. It is also used to make medical devices, toys and credit cards.
Polystyrene (PS)
Rigid polystyrene is transparent and brittle, and is often used to make laboratory equipment and CD cases. Expanded polystyrene (foam) is lightweight and is often used to make disposable tableware, packaging materials and insulation boards.
Polycarbonate (PC)
Transparent and high-strength, it is often used to make optical discs, eyeglass lenses and safety protection equipment.
Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS)
Strong and impact-resistant, it is often used to make electronic housings, toys and automotive parts.
Among several common plastic materials, PET (polyethylene terephthalate) stands out for its excellent performance and wide application. From beverage bottles and food packaging in daily life to durable furniture parts in home decoration, PET materials are everywhere, silently adding convenience and beauty to our lives. It is not only a representative of environmental protection and recyclability, but also has won the favor of many industries with its excellent physical and mechanical properties, chemical stability and processing performance.
Is PET Plastic Safe?
The answer is safe. PET plastic is widely used in food and beverage packaging, such as beverage bottles, food containers, etc. The following is some safety-related information about PET plastic:
Food grade safety: PET plastic is often used in food and beverage packaging because it has good barrier properties and can effectively prevent the entry of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, thereby maintaining the quality and freshness of food and beverages. PET plastic meets the food safety standards of many countries and regions, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Union.
Harmlessness: Under normal use conditions, PET plastic does not release harmful substances. PET plastic does not react chemically with food or beverages, so it does not contaminate the contents. But we still have to avoid reusing old or damaged PET plastic containers.
Recyclability: PET plastic is a recyclable material that can be made into new PET products through the recycling process, which not only reduces the impact on the environment, but also contributes to the sustainable use of resources.
High-temperature resistance: Although PET plastic has good high-temperature resistance, it may deform or release trace substances under high-temperature conditions (such as microwave heating or holding high-temperature liquids), so we need to be careful to avoid using PET plastic containers at high temperatures.
Features of PET Plastic Material
High strength and rigidity
PET material has high strength and high rigidity, which makes PET perform well when withstanding external forces and is not easily deformed or damaged. It can resist scratches and damage in daily use, ensuring the durability of the product.
Resistant to acids, alkalis and organic solvents
ET has good resistance to most acids, alkalis and organic solvents and can remain stable in a variety of chemical environments.
Non-toxic and odorless
PET material is non-toxic and odorless and complies with food safety standards, so it is widely used in the fields of food packaging and storage.
High transparency and good gloss
PET is a colorless and transparent material with a light transmittance between 88% and 92% (source: Zhihu column). It has good optical properties and a smooth and shiny surface. , can give products a high-end feel, and make the products more beautiful and elegant in appearance.
Excellent processing performance
PET material has good thermoformability and processing performance, and can be processed through injection molding, blow molding, extrusion and other methods. This makes PET highly flexible and moldable during production.
Environmentally friendly and recyclable
PET material is a recyclable and environmentally friendly material, which is in line with the concept of sustainable development in modern society. Through recycling and reuse, resource waste and environmental pollution can be effectively reduced.
