Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is considered nonpolar primarily due to its symmetrical molecular structure and the presence of nonpolar C-H bonds in its long hydrocarbon chains. Although it has polar ester functional groups, the overall arrangement of the molecules allows the nonpolar characteristics to dominate. Additionally, the linear arrangement of the polymer chains minimizes polar interactions, contributing to its nonpolar behavior in many applications. This nonpolarity affects its solubility and interactions with other substances.

What are the properties of Polyethylene terephtalate?
Polyethylene terephthalate (sometimes written poly(ethylene terephthalate), commonly abbreviated PET, PETE, or the obsolete PETP or PET-P, is a thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family and is used in synthetic fibers; beverage, food and other liquid containers; thermoforming applications; and engineering resins often in combination with glass fiber. Depending on its processing and thermal history, polyethylene terephthalate may exist both as an amorphous (transparent) and as a semi-crystalline polymer. The semicrystalline material might appear transparent (particle size < 500 nm) or opaque and white (particle size up to a few microns) depending on its crystal structure and particle size.
What type of polymer is a coke bottle made from PE PC etc?
A coke bottle is typically made from PET (polyethylene terephthalate) polymer. PET is a lightweight and durable plastic that is commonly used for beverage containers due to its strong barrier properties and recyclability.
What is polar fleece made of?
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or other synthetic fibers.
What are the ingredients in polyethylene terephthalate?
The components used to make Polyethylene terephthalate is plastics. They take recycled plastics and mold them into polyethylene terephthalate. If you want the chemical formula for polyethylene that would be (C10H8O4)n.
Is terephthalate safe for use in cosmetics?
Is it "polyethylene terephthalate"? Probably, and if so it's perfectly safe. Polyethylene terephthalate is the plastic soda bottles are made from.
What is difference between polyethylene terephthalate and polyester terephthalate?
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fits the definition of a polyester so the name is redundant. I think PETP is simply an old abbreviation for PET.
