Overview
PETG is a transparent thermoplastic sheet material with outstanding thermoformability and good impact resistance.
PETG is an excellent choice for applications that require:
- Durability
- Deep draw thermoforming
- Clarity
PETG Standard Sizes
| SHEET |
48"x96" (0.03"-0.5" thick)
|
- Length, width, thickness, and diameter tolerances vary by size and by manufacturer
- Custom sizes and colors available upon request
- Many of our plastic materials are available as films with thicknesses of 0.029" or less
