What is PETG clear?

What is PETG clear?

PETG or (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) is a cost-effective transparent thermoplastic film that has great thermoforming ability, moderate impact resistance, and exceptional clarity. PETG is often compared to polycarbonate, although it does not have the rigidity or impact strength of polycarbonate.

What is see through plastic paper called?

Acrylic Sheets
Acrylic Sheets (Perspex® equivalent)

Is PETG sheet flexible?

PETG is 5 to 7 times stronger than acrylic and resists better to impact damage and drops. A more flexible material allowing it to take more bending without breaking.

What is the thickest clear plastic sheeting?

6 mil
The most common size in the thickness rating for plastic sheeting is 6 mil. This is 6-thousandths of an inch, or 0.006 inch. Generally, the thicker the plastic, the stronger it is. If it has string/scrim reinforcement, then the string within the plastic will give it added strength.

What is hard clear plastic called?

polycarbonate
Tough, stable, and transparent, polycarbonate is an excellent engineering plastic that is as clear as glass and two hundred and fifty times stronger. Thirty times stronger than acrylic, clear polycarbonate sheets are also easily worked, molded, and thermo-formed or cold-formed.

What is the most transparent plastic?

Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate is a tough, transparent plastic material with outstanding strength, stiffness, and impact resistance. Polycarbonate’s optical clarity makes it ideal for applications such as machine guards, signs, face shields, skylights, POP displays.

How do you bend a PETG sheet?

All thermoplastic synthetic materials can be bent when heated. Polycarbonate and PETG can also be bent (temper shaped) when cold. This technique involves forcing a plastic sheet into the desired shape in its cold state. The sheet is then heated up to a lower temperature (max.

Is PETG better than polycarbonate?

PETG is a great choice for machine guarding. It is much stronger than acrylic but does not have the impact strength of polycarbonate. The cost is usually somewhere between acrylic and polycarbonate. PETG provides excellent toughness, gloss and chemical resistance.

What is the thickness of PET-G clear sheet?

What are PETG sheets?

Often fabricated into containers, trays, and packaging, these PETG sheets can be formed into complex shapes without sacrificing durability. This material can be used in similar applications as Plexiglas® Acrylic. For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number. Temp. Range, °F Thick. Thick. Max.

What is the difference between PET-G and cut-to-size?

Cut-to-size products are CUSTOM and therefore NON-RETURNABLE. Be the first to rate this item! PET-G (polyethylene terephthalate – glycol) is a thermoplastic that provides excellent toughness, chemical resistance and is easy to thermoform. PET-G can be readily vacuumed and pressure-formed as well as heat bent.
