Amorphous Polypropylene Terephthalate (APT) is a type of plastic that is used in a variety of applications. It is a thermoplastic polymer that is lightweight, strong, and has excellent chemical resistance. APT is often used in the automotive, electrical, and medical industries due to its superior properties. It is also used in packaging, consumer goods, and other industrial applications. APT is a cost-effective alternative to other plastics, making it a popular choice for many applications. APT is produced through a process called polycondensation, which involves the combination of two monomers, propylene glycol and terephthalic acid. The resulting polymer is then processed into a variety of shapes and sizes. Some companies in the APT market include BASF, Dow Chemical, Eastman Chemical, and SABIC. These companies produce a variety of APT products for a range of applications. Show Less Read more
