MetaPET®
Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
Surlon offers MetaPET® a high performing material amongst General Engineering Plastic Products catering to medium temperature range, MetaPET® stock shapes are made of crystalline thermoplastic polyester, are marketed under the trade names MetaPET® (virgin grade) and MetaPET® XL (PET + Solid Lubricant grade).
Main Characteristics
– High mechanical strength, stiffness and hardness
– Very good creep resistance
– Very low moisture absorption
– Higher temp working range (better than polyacetal and nylons
– Low and constant coefficient of friction
– Excellent wear resistance (comparable with or even better than nylon grades)
– Very good dimensional stability (better than polyacetal)
– Excellent stain resistance
– Suitable for direct contact with food
– Suitable for machining of complex precision parts
MetaPET® XL (PET + solid lubricant) light grey
MetaPET® XL , a polyethylene terephthalate specially formulated, homogeneously dispersed proprietary solid lubricant, enhances the performance many times than virgin PET material. This premium material outperforms most of the materials in terms of wear resistance and load bearing capacity for applications in mid temperature range.
MetaPET® XL offers consistent very low coefficient of friction and is truly a self-lubricating premium grade material, with very good dimension stability, low moisture absorption and high load bearing capabilities. Parts machined from MetaPET® XL stock shape can be used in direct contact with food and other products, can be used for applications requiring higher PV resistance, load bearing capability and wear resistance.
