What Does PET Stand For?
PET stands for Poly Ethylene Terephthalate
PET, or Poly Ethylene Terephthalate, is a widely used thermoplastic polymer that is part of the polyester family. Known for its strength, durability, and flexibility, PET is primarily used in packaging applications, particularly for beverage bottles and food containers. It is lightweight, resistant to impact, and has excellent moisture barrier properties. PET is also recyclable, making it an environmentally favorable choice in the plastic industry. Its applications extend beyond packaging to textiles, automotive components, and various consumer products.
