Next, the heated rPET is stretched into long thin cables, cooled, and chopped into pellets. However, when recycled bottles are not high enough quality to transform into new bottles or packaging, rPET can be washed, heated, and stretched into fiber to create polyester yarn and fabric. Manufacturers using rPET require different properties based on their specific application, such as certain colors, stiffness and strength.

Application design experts can recommend a TPE based on a general description of the desired product and the material properties your application requires. You may also need to think about how you want the product to behave when stretched; there are many stretch properties and tests that can be performed to achieve the appropriate amount of flexibility based on your application.

These products have high-strength, low stretch, and excellent fatigue properties, and are properly torque-balanced for optimal performance.

Disparate colors: Mixing the colors of textiles in a car’s interior can stretch its appeal to new audiences.
