PETG is a thermoplastic polyester that provides excellent toughness, chemical resistance and is easy to thermoform. PETG fabricates well using processes like die cutting, drilling, routing, bending and polishing. It bonds easily using solvents or adhesives. With its low forming temperature, PETG can be readily vacuum and pressure-formed as well as heat bent. And, it can be silk screened using a variety of inks.
PETG is a high-impact, co-polyester material, but it does not hold up well in outdoor applications unless UV resistant stabilizers are added. Because of its soft surface, it is also vulnerable to scratching in high contact environments.
PETG is FDA compliant, so it can be used in medical and food applications. In medical applications, it stands up to radiation and chemical sterilization techniques without changing color.
