PET-G Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol
DESCRIPTION
Polyethylene terephthalate glycol, more commonly called PET-G, is a thermoplastic polyester that provides significant chemical resistance, durability, and excellent formability for manufacturing. Generally, PET-G is clear and in sheet form and is used as an alternative to acrylic and polycarbonate.
PET-G is very easily CNC routed, vacuum formed, as well as line-bent due to its low forming temperatures. PET-G is selected over acrylic due to greater impact resistance and in some instances can be down gaged to save cost. With the greater impact, PET-G is softer so scratches more easily than acrylic. PET-G is naturally food safe, making it a good option for trays or displays around food.
Meyer Plastics stocks PET-G sheets in several gages and is experienced in fabricating this material into many different displays, covers, and OEM parts. For large orders custom sizes can be provided.
