PET is a semi-crystalline polyester terephthalate (PET) polymer that exhibits excellent strength, rigidity, and machinability. Additionally, this material offers dimensional stability and wear resistance that meets or exceeds that of Nylon or Acetal. Due to it’s superior chemical resistance and food contact approvals, PET stock shapes are the preferred material for components in food processing applications such as pistons, valves, feed screws, and food product forming and extrusion dies. Additionally, the low moisture absorption and low rate of thermal expansion offered by PET makes it ideal for demanding applications that require close tolerance, precisely machined component parts. PET machines easily and is offered by Advanced Industrial in a complete range of extruded rod and heavy gauge plate sizes. Chemically lubricated FDA compliant PET is also available.

PBT (Polybutyleneterephthalate) is a semi-crystalline material that exhibits excellent rigidity, toughness, and machinability. Additionally, PBT offers dimensional stability and wear resistance that meets or exceeds that of Nylon and Acetal. Due to its superior chemical resistance and food contact approvals, PBT is the preferred material for components in wet and dry food processing applications such as pistons, valves, feed screws, and forming/extrusion dies. For applications involving high speed wear, PBT is available in an internally lubricated grade, UNILATE Lf, that provides a much lower coefficient of friction compared to non-lubricated grades.
