PETG – Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol
Tough clear plastic sheet, used frequently in vacuum forming
PETG is a plastic resin of the polyester family that is used to make thermoforming applications. PETG is a clear resin that can be extruded into sheets. One of the most common applications of this plastic is in POP Displays, molds (food, candy, soap, candle), medical face shields, and more commonly seen in drinking water bottles.
Why you should use PETG:
- Has excellent bending and Vacuum form properties
- Is very easy to fabricate
- Excellent impact strength
- Standard material is not UV stabilized
- Tougher than Acrylic, but not quite as impact resistant as Polycarbonate
- PETG is ITAR compliant, and PETG is RoHS compliant
- Formerly called Vivak® Sheet, Spectar®, Ultros® or Copolyester Sheet
- PETG is the abbreviation for Polyethleneterephtalate Glycol
PETG material is an excellent material for fabrication of Point-of-Purchase (POP) displays, forming of 3-D parts and and bending.
- Excellent fabrication
- Low cost material with high impact strength
- Easy to form, punch, rivet and cut
- Paintable, printable, and silk screens well
