Caliber Series PETG Plastic Bottle Preforms Custom Transparent Color

20 Caliber Series Highly Transparent Petg Imported Raw Materials From Japan

Polyethylene terephthalate glycol, known as PETG or PET-G, is a thermoplastic polyester that delivers significant chemical resistance, durability, and formability for manufacturing. PETG is an adaptation of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) where the ‘G’ stands for glycol, which is added at a molecular level to offer different chemical properties. PET uses the same monomers as the glycol modified PETG, but PETG has greater strength and durability, as well as being more impact resistant and better suited to higher temperatures.

Production Methods

PETG is produced using a two-step, melt-phase polycondensation process. This relatively simple process joins two different monomers together, accompanied with the release of a small molecule such as water.

PETG can be injection moulded, sheet extruded or extruded as a filament for 3D printing. This clear, amorphous thermoplastic can also be coloured during processing.
