What is PETG and what are the characteristics of the material?

Update:06-06-2022
PETG sheet, also known as copolyester sheet, is a thermoplastic environmentally friendly plastic product. The chemical elements it contains are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen like paper, and it is a degradable plastic. Packaging products made from this material end up as water and carbon dioxide when discarded
1. Features
① Good transparency
The transparency can reach more than 91%, the texture is good, and it is suitable for products requiring high transparency.
② Excellent impact strength and rigidity
The material is hard and durable, with good physical properties even at low temperature -40°C; suitable for applications with high impact strength.
③ Excellent workability
It can be processed by sawing, die cutting, drilling and laser cutting, as well as cold bending and hot bending, adhesion, welding and polishing, printing and painting; and cold bending does not whiten, and the appearance is bright.
④ Excellent thermoformability
It can be formed without preheating, with high precision and shrinkage rate of 2%-3%; good deep formability, no cracking and uniform thickness.
⑤ Environmental protection
Recyclable and does not pollute the environment.
⑥ Excellent food hygiene
The material is PETG, which can comply with all major food regulations, such as FDA or BGA, etc., suitable for food container packaging and other purposes... Excellent grease and chemical resistance It is not eroded by acids, alkalis, oils, etc.
⑦ Low flammability
Good fire resistance, no combustion support, low smoke output, no harmful substances after burning.
