PLASTMASS™
PET PLASTIC

PLASTMASS™ PET is a Polyethylene Terephthalate thermoplastic with optimized antifriction characteristics. PLASTMASS™ PET plastics are ideal for replacing bronze. Our plastic (polymer) is suitable for dry running and makes external lubrication obsolete. Replacing bronze with PLASTMASS™ PET can increase part longevity and reduce material costs. Our PET plastics can withstand higher pressure loads and possess in dry running than parts made of metal.
