Advantages and Applications of PET Foam Materials.
Release time：2022-08-29 Views
The advantages of PET foam core materials include a long-term use temperature of up to 120°C, thermal stability without gas release or expansion, and excellent flame retardancy and self-extinguishing properties in the flame-retardant series of PET foam, without producing toxic gases. PET core materials can be heated and conformed to specific shapes, and as more manufacturers realize its consistent characteristics and advantages, it has become a substitute for PVC foam core that is 100% recyclable.
The major participants in the global PET foam material market include 3A Composites AirexBaltek, DIAB Group, Gurit, and PolyCore Advanced Material Co., Ltd.

All sustainable foam product solutions based on PET address multiple applications, including wind turbine blades, road and rail vehicles, and sustainable building components. PET is reported to provide multiple benefits, including extending the life of wind turbine blades, improving fire safety in rail vehicles, and reducing CO2 emissions in the construction of lightweight road vehicles.
Although PET is an outstanding structural core material, its production and market costs have always been a concern for market customers, and pricing power has been controlled by foreign markets. The growing demand for PET foam in the domestic wind power, rail transit, new energy vehicles, and building energy conservation industries, driven by national policies promoting new energy development, energy conservation and emission reduction, and environmental protection, has stimulated domestic manufacturers to break through technological monopolies, establish recycling systems from the source, and complete extrusion production lines, while advancing high-performance PET foam and regaining pricing advantages from foreign competitors.
As we all know, PET foam production starts from the PET bottle granulation production line, which is the inherent environmental advantage of PET foam materials. PET plastic recycling generally refers to the use of granulators to recycle used PET bottles and plastic bottles. After crushing, cleaning, drying, heating and plasticizing, drawing, cooling, and granulating, the material powder PET is generated for remanufacturing PET-related products.
PolyCore Advanced Material Co., Ltd. has a leading domestic PET extrusion foam production line, and its non-drying PET extrusion foam series products have excellent mechanical properties, good heat resistance, and excellent fatigue resistance, becoming a sustainable high-performance foam core material widely used in the fields of wind power, high-speed rail, subway, ships, automobiles, construction, and industry. It has laid an irreplaceable PET hard foam foundation for the country's new infrastructure.
