Polyesters

Polyester is a broad category of polymers that include esters in their structure. The most well-known type, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), is particularly popular due to its properties and applications in the textile and packaging industries.

Here are some additional details about polyester and its various forms:

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET):

• The most widely used polyester, especially in bottles and textiles. It is known for its strength, lightness, and resistance to chemicals and UV light.

Natural Polyesters:

• As mentioned, there are also natural polyesters, such as cutin, found in plant cuticles. These are rarer in commercial use but have interesting biological properties.

Other Synthetic Polyesters:

• There are also other types, such as polybutyrate, which can be used for specific applications, including bioplastics. Polycarbonate is another type, but it is more often classified as a plastic rather than a polyester.

Applications:

• In addition to textiles and packaging, polyester is also used in composites, coatings, and films, making it a very versatile material.

 

Polyester is available in Bulk, IBCs, Drums, and Cans.
