PET plastic (PET-GL)

• High strength and stiffness
• Good dimensional stability
• Low moisture absorption
• Good durability
• Well suited for precision machining

Semi-finished or finished machined part
We supply PET and PET-GL as semi-finished products and CNC-machined components according to drawings or 3D models.

PET plastic (polyethylene terephthalate), including PET-GL, is a technical construction plastic with high strength, good dimensional stability and good wear properties. The material is well suited for machined components where precision, mechanical strength and stable dimensions are required.

Properties and uses

PET has high stiffness and good dimensional stability combined with low moisture absorption and good wear properties. The material is therefore well suited for precision components and machine parts with relatively tight tolerances.

Technical PET is used for bearings, bushings, guides, rollers, sliding parts and other machine components in industrial and maritime applications.

Machined parts in PET plastic

Scanco can supply CNC machined parts in PET according to drawing or 3D model. The material's dimensional stability and machinability make it well suited for precision components and special parts.

We produce both individual components and series in our own workshop. If you don't have a drawing or 3D model, we can also 3D scanning and reverse engineering existing components.

PET and PET-GL semi-finished products

We supply PET and PET-GL as semi-finished products in various dimensions and designs. Please contact us if you need material for your own production or finished machined components.

Characteristics

• Construction plastic with good sliding properties and low friction
• Very low water absorption and good dimensional stability
• High rigidity and good wear resistance
• Limited impact resistance compared to tougher construction plasters
• Well suited for precision machining and produces short chips
• Standard color: gray
• Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use
• Supplied as bolts and plates
• Typical applications: sliding plates, rollers, plain bearings, guides and other machine components
• In the case of sliding contact, the mating material and operating conditions should be considered to reduce wear.
