PETG can be semi-rigid to rigid, depending on its thickness, and it is very lightweight. The main virtue of PETG is that it is fully recyclable. Unlike other plastics, its polymer chains can be recovered for additional useIt makes a good gas and fair moisture barrier, as well as a good barrier to alcohol and solvents. It is strong and impact-resistant. It is naturally colorless with a high transparency.
Applications
PETG is used as a Midrange priced product between Acrylic & Polycarbonate. The clearity of PETG approcies that of Acrylic & Impact Resistance of Polycarbonate. Also is used in Signing, Glazing, POP Displays, etc.
