 IDES | Plastics Search of the Week: PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)

Print this | Email this 

December 3, 2007 - Last week, the most popular search term on our search engine happened to be 'PET.'  More than 940 plastics grades of PET are available worldwide. So, for fun, I googled PET and was immediately taken back to the days of the Commodore PET 64 personal computer. My brother had one and he'd anxiously arrive home from school, pop in a 60 minute cassette tape and return after dinner to play pong.  Google™ is a great tool for most searches, but in specific cases like this where as plastics professionals we're looking for information on Polyethylene Terephthalate, seeing search results for dogs, cats and outdated computers isn't much help.  In this short video, we switch over to the IDES search engine and immediately find relevant information on this thermoplastic polymer resin used in synthetic fibers; beverage, food and other liquid containers; thermoforming applications; and engineering resins often in combination with glass fiber.
