PETE (Polyethylene Terephthalate Extender)

PETE (Polyethylene Terephthalate Extender) is a type of plastic derived from polyethylene terephthalate (PET). It is used as a binder or additive in manufacturing, especially in textiles and coatings, to improve flexibility, durability, and performance of materials. PETE helps create softer, more elastic fabrics or coatings while maintaining strength and resistance to environmental factors like moisture. Its properties also enable it to be recycled easily. In essence, PETE enhances the quality and longevity of products made with PET, making them more versatile and sustainable.
