Ensitep®
PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)
View Typical Property Values

ENSITEP® is an unreinforced, semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyester derived from polyethylene terephthalate. Its 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 ENSITEP® has no centerline porosity, the possibility of fluid absorption and leakage is virtually eliminated.

Excellent wear resistance
Low coefficient of friction
Very good chemical resistance
No centerline porosity eliminates the possibility of fluid absorption
and leakage
Good electrical insulator
High mechanical strength
Excellent hardness and stiffness
In compliance with FDA regulations CFR 177.1630 for use in contact with food
Low water absorption
Good resistance to high-energy radiation

ENSITEP®s superior wear resistance and lack of centerline porosity give it an advantage over other materials for applications involving solvents, chemicals, and food products. ENSITEP® is also used in water purification systems, printing equipment, textile components, food-handling equipment, and valves.
