Globally, PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) is the highest volume produced and most highly consumed plastic material, featuring in all aspects of our daily life, especially PET bottles, with millions consumed every day.
PET foam’s core material is PET- polyethylene terephthalate.
PET foam is a closed-cell thermoplastic structural foam with certain shear and compression strength, and because of these mechanical properties, it is often used as the core material within a sandwich structure.

PET Foam Core Application
The mechanical properties of the PET foam core are related to the foam density. The higher the density, the better the mechanical properties, but at the same time the greater the weight, therefore the higher the cost. The fatigue resistance of PET foam core material is also better, better than some PVC foam core materials.
PET foam core material is widely used in construction, road transportation, rail transportation, aviation, communication, wind power, and various applications requiring such properties.
