Ensinger, Inc. TECAPET black

TECAPET black is a black pigmented PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) material with a density of 1.38 g/cm¬=. It exhibits a modulus of elasticity of 485,000 psi and a tensile strength at yield of 10,000 psi at 73 ¬8F. The elongation at yield is 4%, while the elongation at break reaches 50%. Its flexural strength is measured at 16,000 psi, and it has a compression strength of 3,600 psi at 1% strain and 14,000 psi at 10% strain. The material has a Shore hardness of 85 D and a Rockwell hardness of 93 M. TECAPET black demonstrates very good chemical resistance, low moisture absorption (0.04% at 24 hours), and excellent wear properties. It has a melting temperature of 490 ¬8F and a long-term service temperature of 230 ¬8F, with intermittent service up to 320 ¬8F. The thermal expansion coefficient is 3.9 x 10,Ū,Å? in/in/¬8F. Electrical properties include a volume resistance of 10^10 Oc*cm and a dielectric strength of 400 V/mil. This material is suitable for applications in industries such as packaging and paper machinery, semiconductor technology, and mechanical engineering, making it a versatile choice for projects requiring durability and resistance to various environmental factors.
