PET – Polyethylene terephthalate

FIVE: Rynite

Typical applications

Automotive industry (Under the hood and electronics)

Due to its resistance to high temperatures and engine oils, PET Rynite® often replaces metal parts:

• Ignition systems: Ignition coil housings, ignition distributors and spark plug sockets.
• Headlight components: Frames and housings of automotive lights and reflectors, where high surface gloss and dimensional stability when heated are key.
• Single engine parts: Thermostat housings, water pump parts, engine sensors and electric actuator housings (e.g. for wipers or windows).

Electrical and Electronics Engineering (E&E)

PET Rynite® maintains excellent insulating properties even at high frequencies and temperatures, which is why it is the standard in electronics:

• Bobbins: Insulation cores for transformers, relays and electric motors.
• Connectors and switches: High-voltage connectors, mains switches, circuit breakers and sockets for electronic components.
• Renewable energy sources: Parts of photovoltaic (solar) panels, junction boxes and structural elements of wind turbines.

Household appliances and white goods

It is used in places that are in direct contact with heat or electric current:

• Small household appliances: Soles and housings of steam irons, parts of toasters, coffee makers and hair dryers.
• Structural parts: Heating element holders in washing machines and dishwashers, and microwave oven housings.

Industrial equipment and mechanical engineering

• Hand tool housings: Parts of professional electric drills, grinders and saws that require resistance to drops and overheating.
• Pumps and valves: Pump impellers and valve housings that carry loads and are not in contact with strong bases.
