What is the difference between HIPEX from 3A and Nudec PET?
The key difference between Hipex® from 3A and Nudec PET lies in their specific manufacturing and performance characteristics, although both are high-quality APET sheets.
Hipex®, produced by 3A Composites, is renowned for its superior impact resistance, excellent thermoforming capabilities, and high durability, making it ideal for demanding applications where toughness and reliability are essential. It is often chosen for technical applications that require both strength and ease of processing.
Nudec PET, on the other hand, is highly valued for its exceptional optical clarity and excellent surface finish, making it a preferred choice for applications requiring high transparency, such as displays or packaging. While still offering good impact resistance, Nudec PET’s primary appeal is in its aesthetics and versatility in less demanding environments.
