Rynite

Merkinformatie

Rynite® is a glass fiber-reinforced, semi-crystalline Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) resin developed by Celanese to meet the rigorous demands of today’s industrial, automotive, and electrical sectors.
Rynite® PET combines the strength and durability of metal with the design flexibility and processing efficiency of thermoplastics. Thanks to its outstanding flow properties, Rynite® PET enables efficient molding of thin or complex geometries at reduced injection pressure—ideal for producing small, high-precision parts.
Rynite® PET by Celanese delivers outstanding thermal stability, electrical insulation, excellent chemical resistance and mechanical strength, making it a go-to material for manufacturers seeking long-term performance and cost-effective production. It’s particularly valuable in replacing die-cast metals, thermosets, and in electrical/electronic or automotive settings.
