PET cup is a plastic cup made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
Characteristics
PET cups have the following characteristics:
Heat resistance: PET plastic is prone to deformation and release harmful substances when heated above 70°C, so it is not suitable for long-term hot water.
Transparency and gloss: PET cups have high transparency and gloss, and are light and easy to use.
Application scenarios: Usually used for cold drinks, juices, teas and other beverages.
Safety issues
Although PET plastic itself is non-toxic, it should be used with caution under high temperature conditions. PET plastic is prone to deformation and release harmful substances when heated above 70°C. Long-term use may cause harmful substances to precipitate, posing a potential threat to human health.
Alternatives
In order to protect health, it is recommended to choose high-temperature resistant and non-toxic plastic water cups, such as PP, PPSU, Tritan, etc. These materials have excellent heat resistance and chemical stability, are suitable for hot water and are highly safe
