Product Description
PETG is a transparent plastic in brief. It is a non-crystalline copolyester. The commonly used comonomer of PETG is 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM), and its full name is polyethylene terephthalate-1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol. It is a product of polycondensation of three monomers: terephthalic acid (PTA), ethylene glycol (EG), and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM). Compared with PET, it has more 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol comonomers, and compared with PCT, it has more ethylene glycol comonomers. Therefore, the performance of PETG is very different from that of PET and PCT, and it has its own uniqueness. With the increase of CHDM in the copolymer, the melting point decreases, the glass transition temperature increases, the crystallinity decreases, and finally an amorphous polymer is formed. Generally, the content of CHDM in PETG is more suitable at 30%-40%. It has good viscosity, transparency, color, chemical resistance, and stress whitening resistance. It can be quickly thermoformed or extruded and blow molded. The viscosity is better than acrylic acid. PETG products are highly transparent and tough, suitable for forming thick-walled transparent products. PETG has excellent processing and molding performance and can be designed in any shape according to the designer's intention. It can adopt traditional extrusion, injection molding, blow molding and vacuum forming methods. It can be widely used in the market of plates, sheets, high-performance shrink films, bottles and special-shaped materials. At the same time, it has excellent secondary processing performance and can also be modified by conventional machining.
