PET foam (polyethylene terephthalate foam) is a lightweight, high-strength, environmentally friendly foam material that is widely used in various industrial fields. Its excellent properties make it an ideal choice for many structural applications, especially where lightness and strength are required.
Main Features
Lightweight and High Strength
PET foam has the characteristics of low density, which makes it lightweight while providing strength. Its strength-to-weight ratio is very high, making it suitable for structural materials that need to reduce their own weight.
Excellent Mechanical Properties
PET foam has good compression resistance, impact resistance and shear strength. This enables it to provide necessary support and protection in load-bearing structures, especially as a core material in sandwich structures.
Heat Resistance
PET foam has good heat resistance and can usually work stably in the temperature range of -40°C to +100°C. Specially treated PET foam can also be used at higher temperatures.
Chemical Corrosion Resistance
PET foam has good tolerance to a variety of chemicals and solvents, including acids, alkalis and oils, which makes it widely used in chemical and marine environments.
Low Water Absorption
PET foam does not absorb too much water in a humid environment, maintaining the mechanical properties and thermal insulation properties of the material.
Easy to Process
PET foam is easy to process by cutting, carving, thermoforming, etc., and can be made into various shapes and sizes according to specific needs.
- 100% virgin PET raw materials for a consistent, pure product.
- Made from recycled PET material through a specific foaming technology.
