PET / PETP (polyethylene terephthalate)
Polyethylene terephthalate can be manufactured as either an amorphous (crystal clear) or semi-crystalline thermoplastic. The semi-crystalline version is characterized by high hardness, stiffness and strength. PET also offers excellent sliding performance and less sliding wear (compared to POM in wet or dry environments).
PET is available as a slip/wear-optimized variant in light gray (PET GMO)
