PETP (Polyethylene Terephthalate) CNC Machining Services
PET CNC machining uses computer-controlled tools to precisely shape polyethylene terephthalate (PET) into complex, high-quality parts. Known for its strength, clarity, low moisture absorption, and chemical resistance, PET is ideal for food packaging, automotive, and medical components. This machining process ensures tight tolerances, smooth finishes, and efficient production, making it a reliable choice for both prototypes and mass manufacturing.
Key Properties of PET-P
- Chemical Resistance
- Enhanced Electrical Properties
- High Dimensional Stability
- High Strength
- Lightweight
- Low Water Absorption
PET Machining Applications
- Food & Beverage Industry: precision parts for bottling machines, conveyor components, and transparent containers.
- Automotive Industry: electrical housings, gears, and durable mechanical parts that require stability under heat and stress.
- Medical & Laboratory Equipment: components such as fluid connectors, test fixtures, and instrument housings thanks to its cleanliness and resistance to chemicals.
- Electronics & Electrical Devices: insulating parts, connectors, and protective covers.
- Industrial Machinery: wear-resistant guides, rollers, and custom mechanical parts.
