Properties PETG plastic
PETG is known for its unique combination of excellent vacuum forming and mechanical properties. This technical type of plastic finds its middle ground between PMMA and PC. The crystal-clear plastic type is self-extinguishing and suitable for direct contact with food.
- Strong plastic type
- High impact resistance
- Transparent
- Good vacuum forming properties
- Self-extinguishing
- Suitable for contact with foodstuffs
- Sterilizable
- Density: between 1.20 – 1.30 g / cm3, depending on the composition
Applications PETG plastic
As with PC, the scratch sensitivity of PETG plastic is one of its disadvantages. The heat resistance is also limited because it is lower than that of PMMA and PC
PETG is therefore excellently suited for various precision operations and various applications. This high-quality plastic is widely used in, for example, graphic industries or the food industry. For example:
- Transparent displays
- Food
- Vending machines Shop
- Interior Machine parts
It is particularly suitable as a plastic material in direct contact with food or for use as a fire-retardant material.
