PETG Copolyester

Glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate, transparent and easy to thermoform

PETG (glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate) is a clear copolyester with high surface gloss, good impact resistance, and good resistance to breakage. It stands out for its excellent thermoformability, even in heavy thicknesses and without pre-drying; it also allows cold bending and laser cutting, and offers excellent chemical resistance. It is ideal for industrial guards, protective shields, glazing, molded parts, and point-of-sale displays.
