When you're looking for the ultimate combination of stiffness, temperature performance, maximum dimensional stability, and a high gloss finish in glass reinforced resins, Rynite^® PET thermoplastic polyester resin is the most cost-effective answer. It unites the best properties of reinforced polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with easier processibility to produce high performance parts that can be moulded conventionally.

Rynite^® PET is formulated with a unique rapid crystallisation system. It also has a 20°C heat deflection advantage over PBT. It can be processed over a broad temperature range. Because of its low water absorption, parts in Rynite^® PET maintain their properties and dimensional stability. This makes it a prime candidate for the replacement of die-cast metals and thermosets in many demanding applications where stiffness, critical tolerances and exterior finish are key requirements. The outstanding flow characteristics of Rynite^® PET allow it to fill complex, thin-walled moulds with less injection pressure than is needed with other resins. This is a particularly important advantage with miniature parts.
