Kubva zvavakawanikwa muna 1941, zvivakwa zvepolyester mapolymers zvasimbiswa mu fiber, kurongedza uye zvakaumbwa epurasitiki maindasitiri, nekuda kwekuita kwavo kwakanyanya. PET inogadzirwa kubva kune yakakwira-yakatarwa crystallisable thermoplastic polymers. Iyo polymer ine nhamba hombe yezvivakwa inokodzera kugadzirwa kwekukurumidza kunoputika, kupisa-kusagadzikana kwepamusoro-kwakaringana zvinhu uye zvemhando yepamusoro zvigadzirwa zvekutengesa. PET inowanikwa mune yakajeka uye makara mamakisi.

Zvakanakira
Pakati pezvakanaka zvehunyanzvi zvePET, kutaurwa kunogona kuitwa kwekunakisisa kusagadzikana uye kuomarara. Yakanyanya kukurumidza muforoma kutenderera nguva
uye yakanaka yakadzika-kudhirowa hunhu iine kunyangwe madziro ukobvu. Hapana kuomeswa kweplate usati waumbwa. Wide akasiyana ekushandisa (-40 ° kusvika + 65 °). Inogona kutonhora-kuumbwa nekukotama. Kwakanaka kwazvo kuramba kumakemikari, zvinonyungudika, ekuchenesa vamiririri, maoiri nemafuta etc. Kwakanyanya kusagadzikana kunetseka kupwanya uye crazing. PET ine akati wandei ezvokutengeserana zvakwakanakira. Ipfupi kutenderera nguva ino chengetedza yakakwira kugadzirwa mukugadzira mashandiro. Inoyevedza: kubwinya kwepamusoro, kujekesa kukuru kana kuenzana kwemavara uye inogona kuprindwa kana kushongedzwa zviri nyore pasina pre-kurapwa. Anochinjika ehunyanzvi kuita uye zvizere zvinogadziriswazve.
 
Zvishandiso Sezvo yakaunzwa pamusika, PET yakaongororwa zvinobudirira mune akasiyana maficha senge sanitary ware (mabhati, shawa cubicles), iyo yekutengesa zvekutengesa, mota (zvakare macaravans), nharembozha, dzimba dzebhazi etc. PET yakakodzera chikafu uye zvekurapa kunyorera uye ye gamma-radiation sterilization.

Kune maviri akakosha marudzi ePET: Amorphous PET (APET) uye crystalline PET (CPET), musiyano wakakosha kuve wekuti CPET yakasarudzika zvishoma, nepo APET iri amorphous. Kutenda kune yayo yakasarudzika kristaro chimiro CPET haina opaque, nepo APET iine amorphous chimiro, ichichipa iyo inoonekera mhando.
