Increasing demand from marine and wind energy application to drive PET Foam

摘要

POLYETHYLENE terephthalate PET foams possess different mechanical properties and high temperature dimensional stability. It is used in different application areas such as packaging, thermal insulating, wind eliergy, marine, transportation and building and construction applications. It is widely used as lightweight recyclable thermoplast. PET foam follows great number of possibilities as a core material. The well-known core materials in the industry are SAN, PVC, and PMI foams, also honeycombs and balsa. PET foam is lightweight, flexible, offers a great compressive strength and is temperature resistant. As per Syndicate Market Research, PET foam market is mainly driven by increasing demand for the penetration from various end applications like marine and wind energy application.
