The 3D filament Kimya PETG-S is produced via copolymerization with PET. Polyethylene terephtalate glycol (PETG) is a saturated polyester polymer. It offers a perfect balance between flexibility and mechanical resistance and enables items to be produced with higher translucidity. Manufacturers use PET to produce bottles, food containers, credit cards and loyalty cards. The 3D filament Kimya PETG-S has the following properties:
- Odorless
- Offers a perfect balance between flexibility and mechanical properties
- Food contact certified under EU 10/2011 and FDA 21 CFR (natural color only)
- Complies with the RoHS and REACH standards
