Ertalyte®


The specific properties of this virgin crystalline PET make it especially suitable for the manufacture of mechanical precision parts which have to sustain high loads and/or are subject to wear.

Additionally, Ertalyte® stock shapes are also available in our Food Grade programme, which means that they can be supplied with a declaration of compliance, confirming they comply with the requirements mentioned in the European Regulations (EC) No 1935/2004 and (EU) 10/2011. The composition of the raw materials used for the manufacture of Ertalyte® stock shapes also comply with the regulations of the United States of America [FDA] for plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.
