The world would be totally different without plastics. What makes these materials like Ikonos polyethylene terephthalat so special? For one, we specialize our products. In other words we prepare them for particular purposes. Therefore, we offer a range of PET films. However, similar they may look, their physical properties are different. The universality is not the best choice in the specialized world. As a result we use another approach.
