• Higher tensile strength

• Inert to most chemicals

• Excellent dimensional stability

• Excellent electrical properties

• Good thermal stability over wide temperature range

• Low moisture absorption

• Superior UV resistance

• Good optical clarity

• Recyclable

• Bonds well to metal, adhesives, and variety of inks

Types of PET Film

There are several types of PET film that meet a wide range of packaging applications.

There are also many grades of PET film that make it compliant with FDA and USDA regulations. Common applications that might require FDA or USDA compliance would include packaging for the food and beverage industry and the medical/healthcare field where sterilized packaging is needed for products such as face shields or surgical instruments and other medical devices.
