Application

Pegoterate is a purpose-driven product designed to leverage the unique properties of a semi-crystalline polymer, much like the well-known polymer polyethylene terephthalate (PET). PET, recognized for its excellent chemical resistance, melt mobility, and spinnability, is configured from repeating units that confer it with notable stiffness and thermal stability compared to other aliphatic polymers. The construction of these units-a structured assembly involving an aromatic ring connected to a short aliphatic chain-results in a robust and stable polymer. While higher polymerization levels enhance fiber strength, they also necessitate careful management of melt viscosity and moisture levels to prevent hydrolytic degradation. In applications, PET's resistance to chemical and thermal stress, alongside its adaptability, makes it a highly versatile material for producing synthetic fibers and containers, demonstrating the potential versatility and applicability of pegoterate in various industrial applications.
