PET plastic granules, short for Polyethylene Terephthalate granules, are small pellet-shaped raw materials made from PET resin. They serve as the fundamental material for producing various PET products.
Key characteristics and application scenarios are as follows:
Main properties: PET has excellent transparency, good heat resistance (can withstand temperatures of about 70–120°C), strong chemical resistance, and high mechanical strength. It is easy to process and can be recycled and reused.
Common applications: Widely used in the production of beverage bottles (such as mineral water and soft drink bottles), food packaging containers, polyester fibers for textiles (PET fibers), films (such as food packaging and electrical insulation films), and engineering plastic components (such as automotive parts and electronic housings).
Recyclability: Identified by the recycling code “1”, PET is one of the most widely recycled plastics today. Recycled PET can be reprocessed into rPET granules and used to produce regenerated fibers, packaging materials, and more.
