Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol, or PETG, is a clear thermoplastic that can be formed into a number of shapes, making it suitable for use in a broad range of applications.
Benefits of PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol)
Formable, easy to fabricate, form bond or decorate
Capable of deep thermoforming draws
More impact resistant than acrylic
Excellent clarity
Excellent printability
Recyclable
