1mm Clear PETG

This 1mm PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol) sheet is a tough, cost-effective thermoplastic that combines high impact resistance with excellent clarity and chemical resistance. It is a popular alternative to both acrylic and polycarbonate for applications that demand durability and optical quality.

PETG maintains high optical clarity with good light transmission and low haze. It is resistant to a wide range of chemicals including cleaning agents, acids, and alkalis — making it well suited to food processing, pharmaceutical, and healthcare environments. The material is inherently tough, with excellent impact resistance that does not diminish at low temperatures.

Widely used for machine guards, face shields, sneeze screens, point-of-sale displays, food packaging, medical device housings, and thermoformed components. PETG can be cut, drilled, bent, and thermoformed using standard workshop equipment. It bonds well with compatible adhesives and welds cleanly. The 1mm thickness suits applications from lightweight protective screens to structural fabricated components.

Mechanical & Chemical Properties

• Impact resistance: Significantly tougher than acrylic — does not crack or shatter on impact.
• Chemical resistance: Resistant to acids, alkalis, and common cleaning agents.
• Food safe: FDA-compliant for direct food contact applications.
• Optical clarity: Good light transmission with low haze.

Thermal & Physical

• Thermoformable: Forms at lower temperatures than acrylic — efficient for vacuum and pressure forming.
• Low-temperature performance: Maintains impact resistance at sub-zero temperatures.
• Weight: Lightweight compared to glass — practical for large panel applications.

Specification

• Material: PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol)
• Thickness: 1mm

Industrial & Safety Applications

• Machine guarding: PETG’s high impact resistance and optical clarity make it a preferred material for machine guards, safety screens, and protective enclosures in manufacturing and industrial environments.
• Face shields and PPE: Thermoformable and chemically resistant — used for protective face shields and visor components.

Food & Medical

• Food-safe applications: FDA-compliant for direct food contact. Used for food display covers, serving guards, and packaging components.
• Medical and pharmaceutical: Chemical resistance suits cleanroom glazing, medical device housings, and environments requiring frequent disinfection.

Displays & Fabrication

• Point-of-sale displays, sneeze screens, and thermoformed components. PETG thermoforms at lower temperatures than acrylic, making it efficient for vacuum forming and pressure forming applications.
