Properties:
Properties:
PETG plastic is used for food containers and bottles for liquid beverages. PETG is also found across the medical field; its rigid structure allows it to survive harsh sterilization processes.
PETG can be thermo formed
Ridged
Applications:
Applications:
PETG vacuum-formable, it can tolerate pressure without cracking. It can be injection molded into a variety of shapes, or extruded into sheets. You cannot laser cut PETG plastic. PETG filament is used for 3D printing.
SUSTAINABILITY:
SUSTAINABILITY:
PETG is not bio-degradable however is recyclable. It can be re manufactured into recycled goods if disposed of appropriately.
Material Handling:
Material Handling:
PETG has a Temperature of 80-100°C in the thermo forming process. It has low flammability 1 to 8 mm however do not leave unattended during this process. Wear gloves.
Can trim by scoring with a blade.
