PET virgin polyester monofilament and recycled polyester monofilament are important products in the field of chemical fibers. They are made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) through different production processes. Virgin PET monofilament is a fiber made of PET resin through melting, spinning, stretching and cooling, and has high strength and wear resistance. Recycled PET monofilament is made by recycling waste PET materials, such as plastic bottles, after washing, crushing, melting and spinning, and is an environmentally friendly material.
PET monofilament has a wide range of specifications, ranging from 0.08mm to 0.90mm, which can meet the needs of different application scenarios. They come in a variety of colors, including transparent, black and various colors, which makes them widely used in many fields such as footwear, home textiles, luggage, trademark webbing and outdoor products.
The melting point of PET monofilament is about 250℃, which makes them have good processing performance during heat treatment. In addition, PET monofilament is often certified by the Global Recycling Standard (GRS) due to its wide application, environmental protection characteristics and sustainability. GRS certification is an international standard that specifies the content of recycled materials in products and includes strict restrictions on environmental management, social responsibility, and the use of chemicals.
In the field of outdoor products, PET monofilaments can be used to make reinforcement materials for equipment such as tents, backpacks, and sleeping bags to improve their durability and waterproof performance. In the field of footwear materials, they can be used to make shoelaces or upper parts, providing good strength and wear resistance. In the field of home textiles, PET monofilaments can be used to make bedding, curtains, etc., and are popular for their durability and easy-to-clean properties.
PET monofilaments can also be used to make trademark webbing, which is very practical for the logo of clothing, luggage, and other products due to its strength and wear resistance. In addition, due to the environmentally friendly characteristics of PET monofilaments, they are also often used to make outdoor equipment such as climbing ropes, rock climbing equipment, etc., which need to maintain performance and durability in harsh outdoor environments.
Compared with virgin PET, recycled PET has the following advantages:
Environmental protection: The production process of recycled PET can reduce dependence on petroleum resources, reduce waste generation and environmental pollution.
Energy saving: The energy required to produce recycled PET is less than that of virgin PET, which helps to reduce energy consumption.
Cost-effectiveness: Recycled PET is generally more economical than virgin PET because it uses recycled materials.
However, the properties of recycled PET may differ from virgin PET, depending on the quality of the recycling and regeneration process. The mechanical properties of recycled PET may be slightly lower than those of virgin PET, but it is still suitable for many applications.
