Material: PETG

Transparent glycol modified copolyester sheet which is extremely easy to fabricate and thermoform. These properties coupled with the high transparency and high impact strength make PETG a reliable alternative in many applications where PVC, PMMA or PC have traditionally been used. High resistance to chemicals and it's compatability with foodstuffs (not UV version) make PETG a very versatile material.
