lineaarne aromaatne polüester, tereftaalhappe ja etüleenglükooli polükondensaat
a polymer made by the polycondensation of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid or dimethyl terephthalate which is used as films, in the manufacture of fabrics, of soft drink bottles, and in magnetic coatings
Alates 2025. aasta 1. jaanuarist peab selliste joogipudelite koostises, mille valmistamisel on peamiseks komponendiks polüetüleentereftalaat, olema vähemalt 25 protsenti ringlusse võetud plasti, arvutatuna turule lastud polüetüleentereftalaadist pudelite keskmisena.
As one versatile plastic material, poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is odorless, tasteless, and nontoxic and is further characterized by light weight, high strength, air tightness, and high transparency. Hence, it is widely used for fibers, films, electrical insulation materials, and beverage bottles, particularly for packaging of carbonated drinks, mineral water, and edible oil in the food industry.
