PETG Sheet
PETG is a clear thermoplastic that is tougher than acrylic and used in a wide variety of markets and applications. PETG offers excellent clarity, good impact strength, excellent chemical resistance, and superior thermoforming and fabrication characteristics. The excellent thermoforming characteristics allow PETG to be cold bent without stress whitening, making it an ideal choice for retail display cases and store fixtures.
PETG also meets ANSI requirements for occupational and educational eye protection, and FDA requirements for food contact enabling medical and food/beverage applications. PETG also offers exceptional printability through silk screening or hot stamping, and is easily painted with little to no prep expanding applications to include graphic arts.
