Worth knowing
PET-G (polyethylene terephthalate glycol) is a modified version of the thermoplastic PET and is also known as co-polyester. It has very good thermal formability and high transparency, so it offers excellent conditions for a high-quality print image and good layer adhesion. In addition, PET-G scores with its chemical resistance and the possibility of sterilization.
This is why this polymer is also used in medical technology. In addition to its high resistance and good mechanical properties, PET-G is also food-safe. In addition, this material is 100% recyclable.
Fields of application:
Food and beverage industry, industrial protective components, medical technology e.g. medical devices, tools and prostheses.
