PETG

Glycol-modified PET

PETG is an amorphous, non-crystallising PET copolyester: it stays clear even in thick sections, thermoforms and bends easily and is tough. In sheet, signage, medical packaging and cosmetic bottles it is a more economical alternative to PC. It is also common as 3D-printing filament.

Overview

PETG is the standard grade of the PETG family in the general-purpose plastics group. It is used in applications such as signage and display sheet, medical blisters and sterile packaging, cosmetic bottles and jars. The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.

Documents

The supplier's technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS) for PETG are sent by e-mail with the quoted grade; because the same code has different sheets at different suppliers we do not publish a single file on the site. To see the sheet in advance, request it with the link below.
