PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol)

PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) is a thermoplastic copolyester, primarily known for its use as a material replacing PC. PETG is a modified version of the original PET, achieved through the addition of glycol. This addition results in several unique material properties, such as transparency and extreme impact resistance (even at temperatures as low as -40°C). Additionally, PETG is less prone to tearing and can withstand bending stresses well. Its processing temperature is significantly lower than PET, allowing it to retain transparency under various forms of manipulation, making it an ideal material for thermoforming. Furthermore, PETG is food safe, meaning it can safely come into contact with food without restrictions.
