Polyethylene terephthalate
Polyethylene terephthalate, better known as PET plastic, is one of the most widely used recyclable materials worldwide. More and more products are being packaged with this material because its characteristics make it different from the competition:
- Safe
- Resistant
- Light
- Transparent
- Recyclable
Its most common uses include the manufacture of bottles for drinks, water, sauces and condiments, containers for oil or cosmetics and medicines, among others.
At Trans Sabater, we produce recycled PET in addition to making compounding in our laboratories to suit the needs of our customers.
Polyethylene (PE)
Polyethylene, also known by its abbreviation PE, is the simplest thermoplastic polymer and therefore very economical to manufacture. The differentiating characteristics of polyethylene are:
- Light
- High chemical and thermal resistance.
- Flexible and elastic.
- Whitish and translucent appearance.
- Recyclable
In addition, there are two types of polyethylene: High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) or Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE). The main difference is in the density and hardness of its composition, where as its name indicates, HDPE is denser and harder.
Among its most common uses are the manufacture of cables, pipes, tubes, water buckets, cleaning product packaging, toys or plastic and rubbish bags, among others.
At Trans Sabater, we produce recycled PE in addition to making compounding in our laboratories to suit the needs of our customers.
Polypropylene (PP)
Polypropylene, also known by its abbreviation PP, is one of the most versatile thermoplastic polymers available. The differentiating characteristics of polypropylene are:
- Low density.
- Rigid material.
- Elastic recovery.
- Resistant to chemical agents.
- Thermal stability.
- Recyclable
Its most common uses include the manufacture of packaging, toys, car parts, carpets, household appliance parts or construction materials, among others.
At Trans Sabater, we produce recycled PP in addition to making compounding in our laboratories to suit the needs of our customers.
PE + PP Mix
Polyolefins are defined as all plastics formed from polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). This mixture between the two different types of plastic offers a series of advantages that cannot be obtained separately:
- The density is very low.
- Good resistance to chemicals.
- Temperature stability.
- Impact resistance.
Among its most common uses are the automotive sector and the waterproofing sector.
