Description
PETG stands for Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol, a thermoplastic polyester material that can cool efficiently without warping. PETG is transparent, strong, and semi-rigid, making it a popular substitute for polycarbonate and acrylic. It is highly durable, impact-resistant, and chemically resistant.One of the major benefits of PETG is its environmental friendliness and ease of recycling. PETG is also FDA-approved for food contact, making it safe for use in food packaging and medical applications.
