Best Answer

There is no difference. PET is polyester, which has a chemical name of polyethylene terephtlalate. PET can be made with the polymers aligned in two primary ways; amorphous or crystalline. Virtually all of what you come in contact with is amorphous with one major exception; microwave food trays, which if made from PET are made from C-PET (crystallized PET). Virtually all clear PET including Mylar and water bottles are made from A-PET (amorphous PET). In many cases the "A" is simply left off.
