Pacur® APET Polyester Sheet
- Chemical Family
- Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
Pacur® APET Polyester Sheet is extruded from polyester resin. It is an exceptionally clear FDA approved material for use in food applications. In comparison to the copolyesters, it offers a better oxygen permeability barrier for packaging of oxygen sensitive products. It offers excellent resistance to many chemicals and solvents and is also an electrical insulator.
