ERTALYTE® is the trade name for an
un-reinforced (virgin) partly crystalline thermoplastic
polyester [Polyethylene terephtalate] (PET) {PET-P}. It has high hardness, stiffness, creep and
wear resistance, excellent sliding properties in
addition to good electrical properties and chemical
resistance. Its very low water absorption which hardly
influences the mechanical and electrical properties,
results, together with a favourable thermal expansion
rate, into a very good dimensional stability.
ERTALYTE ®
has a good resistance to most organic solvents, aromatic
and aliphatic hydrocarbons, oils and fats, salt
solutions and diluted acids. Concentrated acids and
basic solutions do attack ERTALYTE®.
All these properties make ERTALYTE® a
premium engineering plastic with numerous application
possibilities in many branches of industry e.g. in
precision engineering, machine construction and
electrical engineering.
ERTALYTE®
is especially suitable for the manufacture of mechanical
precision parts which have to sustain high loads and /
or subject to wear. Please note if even better wear /
coefficient of friction is required
ERTALYTE®
TX is available.
Warning: Permanent use in water above 70oC is
not recommended on account of the danger of hydrolysis
and consequent embrittlement.
