Transparent PETG

Description

PETG is one of the most versatile and resistant materials for 3D printing, as well as accepting modifications very well, making printing as easy as possible. Its popularity has been booming in recent years and more and more printing services are looking for this material due to its good properties.

At Plastic Express we want to help you make the projects you have in mind a reality and that is why we present you with our transparent PETG, the material you can give all the shapes you can imagine.

The properties of transparent PETG

A transparent PETG sheet is one of the best materials on the market, thanks to its mechanical properties. So that you can see for yourself, we have made a selection of its best characteristics:

The properties of transparent PETG

A transparent PETG sheet is one of the best materials on the market, thanks to its mechanical properties. So that you can see it, we have made a selection of its best characteristics:

• Rigidity: Rigidity is the grade of difficulty in which a material to be deformed; i.e. bent, stretched, etc. A transparent PETG sheet is less rigid than other plastic materials, therefore, it is more elastic and can be worked more easily.

• General strength: A transparent PETG glass sheet is more resistant to shocks, stresses and is more difficult to break than other materials currently in use. In addition, the greater adhesion of the layers to each other makes this material practically unbreakable.

• Thermal resistance: Finally, we will talk about the thermal resistance offered by a transparent PETG sheet. This material begins to soften at 80º, so outside temperatures will have practically no effect on it. In addition, this material can withstand low temperatures for long periods of time.

• Chemical resistance: PETG is very stable and chemically resistant to acid attack, making it a very safe material.

• Transparency: PETG in its natural state allows about 90% of light to pass through, so it is a very transparent material. Plastics with translucent colours leave a shiny finish to the parts and conceal any streaks that may be visible between the layers.

• It is recyclable: As it is a material used in bottles and food packaging, the infrastructure for recycling PETG has already been created. In Spain, this plastic should be thrown in the yellow bin and the pieces will be recycled without any problem.

Thanks to these properties, PETG is not only used to make 3D printing filament, but has many more applications. For example in the field of Visual Communication (interior signs, displays, moulded parts, etc.), in the world of safety and transport (bicycle helmets, visors, etc.) and in the industrial and machinery sector (glued parts, moulds for food, packaging, etc.).
