PET also known as polyethylene terephthalate, is the most common thermoplastic polymer in the world. In the textile industry, the commercial name for this material is "polyester". This is a natural semi-crystalline transparent plastic, used as a moisture-proof layer for fiber clothing, used in packaging, bottles, containers, also known as PET resin or PET, and can improve even when combined with carbon nanotubes and glass fibers. The strength of engineering plastics.

The most important features of PET include its high strength-to-weight ratio and its water resistance. In fact, PET is shockproof, as opposed to glass containers and packaging. PET is also a recyclable economical plastic.

Some of the reasons why PET plastic is highly sought after is the fact that it has extremely high strength, is light in weight, hardly breaks, and does not react with substances such as water and food.

These unique characteristics combined with low prices and a wide range of applications, not to mention environmental protection and recyclability, make PET plastic an almost unparalleled consumer product packaging solution.

PET is not only the first choice for various containers and bottles but also when used with cotton cloth, the polyester used to make fabrics have good flexibility. This reduces shrinkage and wrinkling, not to mention improving the resistance to fabric tearing.
