What is Ertalyte material?
Ertalyte® is an unreinforced, semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyester based on polyethylene terephthalate (PET-P). It is manufactured from proprietary resin grades made by Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials. Only Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials can offer Ertalyte®.
Is Ertalyte FDA approved?
Ertalyte® Key Properties & Available Grades Ertalyte® is FDA compliant in natural and black. Natural Ertalyte® is also USDA, 3A-Dairy and Canada AG compliant. Ertalyte® PET-P Natural – is natural an unreinforced, thermoplastic polyester based on polyethylene terephthalate (PET-P).
What is Ertalyte used for?
Offered in rod and sheet, Ertalyte TX is used for machined mechanical components, involving both high-pressure and high-velocity conditions.
What is Ertalyte PET-P?
Ertalyte® PET-P is a thermoplastic polyester based on polyethylene terephthalate that has excellent wear resistance, low coefficient of friction, high strength, and resistance to moderately acidic solutions. It also is more rigid and provides better thermal performance than nylon or acetal.
How strong is PET plastic?
PET is the most recycled plastic in the U.S. and the world. A single-serve PET bottle (0.5 liter) is strong enough to hold 50 times its weight in water.
What is Nylatron material?
Nylatron® is a tradename for a family of nylon plastics, typically filled with molybdenum disulfide lubricant powder. It is used to cast plastic parts for machines, because of its mechanical properties and wear resistance.
What is Tx material?
ERTALYTE® TX is an internally lubricated thermoplastic polyester providing enhanced wear and inertness over general purpose nylon (PA) and acetal (POM) products.
How strong is polyethylene terephthalate?
7.3. Although it is lightweight, PET possesses a yield strength of around 40 MPa [53] and a tensile strength of around 170 MPa. In addition, it is extremely resistant to wear and has a high flexural modulus.
What are the disadvantages of PET plastic?
Disadvantages. Very susceptible to heat degradation. Excessive shear heat should be avoided – therefore low screw speed and back pressure required. For optimum clarity, mould temperature should be kept between 10°-50°C ( 50°-120°F ).
Is PET plastic hard or soft?
PET is a clear, strong, and lightweight plastic that is widely used for packaging foods and beverages, especially convenience-sized soft drinks, juices and water. Virtually all single-serving and 2-liter bottles of carbonated soft drinks and water sold in the U.S. are made from PET.
Is Nylatron FDA approved?
Nylatron® LFG (FDA Compliant) Nylatron® LFG takes the performance of Nylatron® LIG and adds FDA compliance for applications where food contact is possible. Food packaging and processing equipment users can now benefit from the benefits of this material.
What is ertalyte® (pet-p)?
ERTALYTE® (PET-P) is an unfilled polyester manufactured from proprietary resin grades by Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials. ERTALYTE® is characterized as having the best dimensional stability coupled with excellent wear resistance, a low coefficient of friction, high strength, and resistance to moderately acidic solutions.
Who can offer ertalyte®?
Only Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials can offer Ertalyte®. It is characterized as having the best dimensional stability coupled with excellent wear resistance, a low coefficient of friction, high strength, and resistance to moderately acidic solutions.
What is the difference between ertalyte® and ertalyte TX®?
Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials’ stock shapes made of crystalline thermoplastic polyester, are marketed under the trade names Ertalyte® (virgin grade) and Ertalyte TX® (bearing grade). Ertalyte (colours: natural [white], black) is an unreinforced, semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyester based on polyethylene terephthalate (PET-P).
What is the melting point of ertalyte®?
ERTALYTE®’s continuous service temperature is 210°F (100°C) and its melting point is almost 150°F higher than acetals. It retains significantly more of its original strength up to 180°F (85°C) than nylon or acetal. In addition, ERTALYTE® PET-P offers good chemical and abrasion resistance.
