PET-G (polyethylene terephthalate - glycol) is a thermoplastic that provides excellent toughness, chemical resistance and is easy to thermoform. PET-G can be readily vacuumed and pressure-formed as well as heat bent. It fabricates well using processes like die cutting, drilling, routing, and bending. FDA approved grades of PET-G is commonly used as containers in the beverage & food industries.
