PETG

Petg (polyethylene terephthalate glycol) sheet is a versatile thermoplastic known for its clarity, impact resistance and ease of fabrication. Its widely used in various applications such as signage, displays, machine guards and the medical industry. Its properties make it a popular alternative to acrylic (Perspex) and polycarbonate in many situations.

Key characteristics

• Clarity and transparency, offering a high light transmission enables PETG to be an ideal choice for applications requiring clear visibility such as protective barriers and displays.
• PETG is significantly more impact resistant than acrylic (Perspex) making it a safer choice for applications where breakages are of a concern.
• PETG is easily thermoformed, machined and lasered allowing for complex shapes and designs.
• PETG demonstrates good resistance to a wide range of chemicals making it suitable for various industrial and laboratory settings.
• PETG is FDA approved for food contact, making it a safe choice for food displays, packaging and food processing equipment.
• PETG can be printed on using various methods, including screen printing and digital printing.

Applications

• Signage and displays
• Machine guards
• Safety barriers
• Architectural applications such as glazing and partitions
• 3D printing
