PETG
PETG or Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol is a material that only comes in a range of transparencies and has poor weatherability making it designed for interior and point of sale solutions. PETG is great for vacuumforming and fabrication and has great impact strength and is a cost effective alternative for acrylic in some cases.
Applications
PETG is great for point of sale displays, wall hangers, dispenser units, guards and covers, glazing, electronics, clamshell and general packaging applications.
