Excellent wear resistance [comparable with or even better than nylon
grades]
Moderate impact strength
Very good dimensional stability [better than polyacetal]
Excellent stain resistance
Better resistance to acids than nylon or polyacetal
Good electrical insulating properties
Physiologically inert [suitable for food contact]
Good resistance to high energy radiation [gamma and X-rays]
PET is sensitive to notches and impact. Internal corners should
therefore be rounded to reduce stress concentrations, with a radius
greater than 1 mm where appropriate.
Chamfering is also recommended to help prevent cracking and edge
breakage during machining operations such as turning, drilling, and
milling.
