About INKUPET
INKUPET is a PET-based material (polyethylene terephthalate), which was specially developed by the Plastmass Group to replace polyacetal (POM). Our new compound has properties similar to polyacetal. Due to its high mechanical strength and wear resistance, our innovative material is ideal for machine and equipment components. The material withstands high mechanical loads and has good sliding properties. INKUPET sheets, tubes and rods are available in various sizes and colors.
Application Temperature
Our INKUPET (polyethylene terephthalate) is suitable for applications in a temperature range from -60°C to 110°C.
Characteristics
-
Very high durability
-
Excellent wear resistance
-
High fatigue limit
-
High weather resistance
-
High elasticity
Chemical resistance
-
In general, INKUPET PET is very resistant to aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, insulating oil and grease.
-
It is not exposed to dilute acids, solutions of basic salts, saturated hydrocarbons.
-
Some polyatomic alcohols, esters and halogenated hydrocarbons cause slight swelling. The resulting plasticization does not lead to destruction.
-
INKUPET PET stands to almost all oils and coolant.
-
Mineral acids causes an oxidizing effect on INKUPET PET. INKUPET PET is soluble in concentrated alkaline solutions, phenols, cresols and other chemicals.
-
Room temperature water does not have any chemical or physical effects on INKUPET PET.
-
INKUPET PET material almost does not absorb water (max. 0.3%), the absorbed water does not act as a plasticizer.
