Key Takeaways
- PET is a dependable industrial substrate for laminations, labels, and insulation.
- Offers tensile strength, thermal resistance, and dimensional stability.
- Available in gauges from 48 ga to 500 ga+ for diverse uses.
- Converts cleanly: slitting, sheeting, die-cutting, and laminating.
Mechanical & Thermal Traits
- Tensile strength/modulus: Ensures stiffness and dimensional stability.
- Thermal resistance: Withstands −70 °C to +150 °C operating range.
- Durability: Resists tearing, cracking, and creep.
Electrical Uses
- PET provides dielectric strength for slot liners, phase insulation, and motor wraps.
- Stable at higher temperatures than polyolefin films.
- Explore Electrical/Industrial PET.
Label & Graphic Uses
- Clear PET supports labels, overlays, and graphics.
- Opaque or translucent grades enable light-blocking or diffusion.
- See General Purpose Industrial for options.
Selecting Gauges
- 48–92 ga: Labels, overlays, packaging laminations.
- 92–200 ga: Electrical insulation, industrial laminations.
- 200–500 ga+: Heavy-duty industrial and specialty laminations.
Check specs at Film Specs and Technical Datasheets.
Buyer’s Checklist
- Define end use: insulation, labels, laminations, die-cutting.
- Gauge range: 48–500 ga+.
- Optical needs: clear, opaque, translucent, hazy.
- Mechanical performance: tensile strength, modulus, dimensional stability.
- Regulatory requirements (UL, FDA where applicable).
