APET (Amorphous Polyethylene Terephthalate) is a rigid, clear polyester film prized for its high gloss, crystal-clear transparency, and reliable performance. Known for superior chemical resistance and toughness, APET offers excellent impact strength, puncture resistance, and barrier protection against oils, greases, and solvents.
This versatile film is easily thermoformed into trays, containers, and custom-formed parts, thanks to its excellent dimensional stability. It can also be vacuum formed, fold molded, or sealed using high-frequency processes. APET is available with options such as anti-fog finishes and UV stability, making it suitable for both indoor and select outdoor applications.
Polymershapes supplies APET films from world-class producers, including Nan Ya Plastics and Primex Plastics Corporation. With cut-to-size, roll, and custom-fabrication services available, we can deliver the right format for your application.
Common uses for APET film include food and beverage packaging, face shields, graphics and print media, stationery, and a wide range of industrial and consumer products. Non-toxic and recyclable, APET is also an environmentally friendly choice that balances clarity, durability, and sustainability.
