PETG is an adaptation of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) where ‘G’ is glycol, which was added at a molecular level to come up with different chemical properties. PET uses identical monomers as the glycol-modified PETG. Still, the difference is that the best PETG filament has excellent durability and strength, more impact resistance, and is better suited for higher temperatures. It is a thermoplastic polyester. What is PETG so famous for? Here as follows;
· It is applicable in various industries because it is resistant to heat, solvents, and impacts. Therefore, it is mainly used for packaging, electronic insulators, retail stand and displays, signage, and advertising displays.
· It is widely used in 3D printing technology because the 'G' glycol prevents all PET problems, including becoming cloudy and fragile, overheating, and so on. Good adhesion between layers will reduce
ü The possibilities of deformation during printing,
ü Good resistance in a low-temperature environment,
ü Chemical resistance against acids and bases,
ü And finally, the absence of odor during printing makes it ideal for home and office use.
· Polyethylene terephthalate glycol is ideal for creating flexible parts with good resistance to shocks, like pressure-clad items, protective parts, or even food containers. In addition, it is fully recyclable, which minimizes waste and the potential negative environmental impact.
Polyethylene terephthalate glycol is ideally used and is a versatile plastic with several properties that are relatively better than any other materials. And with a maximizing uptake in 3D printing technology and application, PETG is becoming widely popular in that field.
