What is PETG?
PETG is a kind of transparent plastic, also known as GPET,PETG glycol-modified,is a non-crystalline copolyester,pos-sesses CHDM.
PETG commonly used copolymer monomer is 1,4-cyclohexane dimethyl alcohol (CHDM), all known as polyethylene terephthalate -1,4-cyclohexane dimethyl ester. It is made of terephthalic acid (TPA), ethylene glycol (EG) and 1,4-cyclohexane dimethyl alcohol (CHDM) by transesterification polymerization of the products, compared with pet ,PETG has more 1,4-cyclohexane methanol copolymer monomer, and ethylene glycol copolymer monomer than PCT , therefore, PETG and PET, PCT are very different.
PETG can be made to PETG Rigid film.
thick transparent materials can be prepared using conventional molding methods, superior optical properties (high transmittance, high smoothness and low halo), outstanding toughness and high impact strength, its impact strength is 3-10 times of modified polyacrylate , excellent molding performance, cold bending no white, no cracks, Easy to print and modify, widely used in indoor and outdoor signs, storage racks, vending machine panels, furniture, construction and mechanical baffle, etc.
PETG can be made to PETG film.
Specifically applied to high-performance shrink film, more than 78% of the shrinkage, can be made into a complex container packaging, with high suction capacity, high transparency, high gloss, low haze, easy to print, not easy to fall off, storage, low natural shrinkage, used in beverage bottles, food and cosmetics packaging, electronic product labels, and Ec0-friend to replace PVC shrink film.
