APET Sheet

APET sheet is a transparent, durable and lightweight plastic widely used in packaging food and drinks, especially convenient-size soft drinks, fruit juices and water. APET (Amorphous PET) sheet is produced by extruding a copolymer of Polyethylene Terephthalate (APET), a thermoplastic polyester. With glossy clarity, high mechanical properties and thermoforming ability, APET sheet is an ideal material for packaging applications. APET, PET or PETG sheets are among the most advanced plastic sheets in the world; thanks to their glycol-modified structure they can be shaped easily and offer superior impact resistance. It can be cut on guillotine and laser machines without pre-drying. In terms of heat resistance, the continuous service temperature should not exceed 60-65°C.
