Why consider PET instead of nylon?
PET is more widely recyclable, often less expensive, and offers strong mechanical properties suitable for many industrial applications.
Will PET perform as well as nylon?
In many cases, yes—PET provides excellent strength and chemical resistance, though it may require adjustments in processing for optimal results.
What are the main benefits of PET?
Lower cost, improved recyclability, and reduced environmental footprint compared to nylon.
How do I transition to PET resin?
Review component requirements, test PET formulations for compatibility, and adjust processing parameters such as drying and melt temperature.
