Ertalyte™ Sterra™ PET
Recycled Polyethylene TerephthalateErtalyte™ Sterra™ PET is an unreinforced, semi-crystalline PET that is characterized by its excellent wear resistance, low coefficient of friction, high strength and resistance to moderately acidic solutions. Ertalyte™ Sterra™ PET is capable of sustaining high loads and retains more of its original strength up to 85°C (180°F) than nylons or acetals. Due to these characteristics, Ertalyte™ Sterra™ PET components are a favored solution for bearing and structural applications throughout the pharmaceutical, food processing & packaging and oil & gas industries.
As part of the Sterra™ product portfolio, Ertalyte™ Sterra™ contains recycled PET and therefore is associated with a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to similar materials derived from non-recycled feedstocks. For details, please refer to the respective environmental datasheet.
