PET-G combines high transparency and outstanding mechanical properties with excellent thermoforming properties.
Due to their unique properties, PET-G sheets have a much higher thermoforming ratio than other transparent materials. With this material even the finest details can be reproduced by thermoforming. Do you have to thermoform a very complex product, with many details, complicated to make? Choose PET-G, it is the right alternative! This is why it is used successfully in the production of medical prostheses and orthoses!
PET-G sheets combine in a particular way the excellent thermoforming properties with chemical resistance and very high resistance to impact. This material is also approved for contact with food and has a low degree of flammability. All these properties recommend it for the realization of transparent guards in the medical or pharmaceutical industry.
If you need a perfectly clear sheet that maintains its high transparency, even after thermoforming or bending, then you need PET-G! Sheets up to 4 mm thickness can be cold bent without breaking or losing their transparency! The thermoforming time required for thermoforming PET-G sheets is 40% lower than the thermoforming of other transparent plastics.
Did you accidentally scratch the PET-G sheet and think you ruined your project? No problem, heat the sheet in that area with a hot air blower and the problem disappears!
PET-G sheets can be found under various trade names: SPECTAR, VERALITE S200, VIVAK, COPOL, AXPET, etc.

Benefits and applications
Applications of PET-G sheets:
exhibition stands
advertising displays
advertising signage
interior decoration
various medical technology products: sterilization containers, protective lids for various medical instruments, orthoses and prostheses made by thermoforming, cribs for newborns made by thermoforming.
various applications in the food industry: storage and transport containers, protective lids for refrigerated display cases.
various products made by thermoforming: packaging for pharmaceutical or cosmetic industry, helmets for motorcyclists, transparent guards for various machinery.
Benefits of PET-G sheets:
excellent thermoforming properties
much higher tensile ratio of thermoforming compared to other transparent plastics
they do not require pre-drying before thermoforming
scratches on the sheets can be remedied by heating the scratched area with hot air
approved for food contact
very chemically resistant
highly resistant to impact, even at very low temperatures (down to -40°C)
very high degree of light transmission (88%)
can be sterilized (with ethylene oxide or gamma rays) for pharmaceutical applications
can be cold bent without whitening in the fold area or lose their transparency (up to 4 mm)
can be easily cut, glued, stamped, heat or cold bent, printed, fixed with screws.
Processing of PET-G sheets
PET-G sheets can be processed with woodworking machinery.
PET-G allows the following operations: cutting, gluing, thermoforming, printing, drilling, threading, bending, sanding.
