PET Plastic Sheets and Rods in Singapore

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is an engineering plastic used for precision parts where stiffness, wear performance and dimensional stability matter. Swees Engineering lists PET sheets and rods for machining; check the specific grade and working conditions before selecting it.

PET sheet and rod catalogue

The catalogue chart below lists white PET sheet in 10–80 mm thicknesses, 500 mm width and 1000, 2000 or 3000 mm lengths. It lists white PET rod in 10–150 mm diameters and the same lengths. Ask us to confirm current stock, grade and cutting requirements.

What to include in your enquiry

Send the part drawing, dimensions, quantity, tolerance, load and wear conditions. If food contact is required, request documentation for the exact material grade and application; general PET properties do not establish an approval for a finished part.

PolyEthylene Terephthalate (PET) FAQs

What is PolyEthylene Terephthalate (PET), and what makes it unique?

PolyEthylene Terephthalate (PET) is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer known for its excellent mechanical strength, stiffness, and wear resistance. It is widely used in food containers, synthetic fibers, and precision mechanical parts due to its dimensional stability and low friction properties.

What are the common applications of PET sheets and rods?

PET is commonly used in mechanical precision parts, beverage and food containers, thermoforming applications, and engineering resins combined with glass fiber. Its high load-bearing capacity and wear resistance make it ideal for industrial applications.

How does PET compare to other engineering plastics like Nylon or Polyacetal?

PET offers superior dimensional stability compared to Polyacetal and provides wear resistance comparable to or better than Nylon. It also has a low and constant coefficient of friction, making it suitable for applications requiring smooth, consistent motion.

Is PET safe for food contact applications?

Yes, PET is physiologically inert and approved for food contact applications. It is commonly used in beverage bottles, food containers, and other packaging solutions requiring safety and durability.
