YOUR BENEFITS

Why PETG?

PETG combines toughness with an attractive surface finish. It is a versatile choice for parts that are regularly handled and used.

Performance profile

Heat deflection temperature (HDT)
up to 70 °C
Tensile strength
up to 50 MPa
Elongation at break
up to 120 %
Tensile modulus

Ideas for your application

Product development, workshop equipment, device manufacture and individual everyday solutions.

Surface and appearance

A relatively smooth plastic surface with visible print layers; the gloss depends on the part geometry.

Designing your part to fit

Rounded brackets and wide connections distribute loads. Mating surfaces, screw seats and snap fits can be integrated directly into the design.

Finishing and post-processing

Deburring and targeted smoothing of contact surfaces are possible. Compatible adhesives and coatings complement the finish.
