This materials is…excellent wearing and very abrasion resistant. PET is an non-reinforced, semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyester based on polyethylene terephthalate. The low moisture absorption and low rate of thermal expansion make it ideal for demanding applications that require close tolerance.

“For years we used Delrin rod for our parts, but we always had some rejections due to breakage during machining. We changed to the PET rod, and the problem has vanished. Thanks” – Wayne P.
“This material seems to be as easy to machine as Acetal or Delrin. We like the finish better.” – Johnny G.
