PET-G

0.76 to 12 mm thick PET-G film with 89 % light transmission, thermoformable without pre-drying, sterilizable, and suitable for food contact in the non-UV version.

PET-G

The PET-G from US Plast is a transparent copolyester sheet designed for thermoforming: it allows for deep drawing and complex curves without pre-drying, is impact-resistant, and, in its UV-free version, is suitable for food contact. It is manufactured in York, Pennsylvania, in an ISO Class 7 cleanroom.

What is PET-G?

PET-G (glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate) is a transparent thermoplastic with a light transmission of 89 % that can be molded at low temperatures. Since it does not require pre-drying, it shortens the thermoforming cycle and reduces the cost per part compared to other transparent materials such as polycarbonate.

Technical Advantages

  • Thermoforming without pre-drying, with good definition in complex shapes.
  • Transparency: 89 % light transmission (ASTM D1003).
  • Sterilizable and suitable for contact with food in the version without UV protection.
  • Easy to make: It is cut with a laser and shears; surface scratches are removed with a heat gun.
  • Continuous use up to 65 °C and a 10-year limited warranty.

Applications in Mexico

Displays and showcases for point of sale, protective screens, thermoformed packaging for food, signage, and components for medical team.

PET-G, acrylic or polycarbonate

  • PET-G: The best choice for fast thermoforming and food contact.
  • Acrylic: Greater gloss and scratch resistance for signage and displays.
  • Polycarbonate: Maximum impact and temperature resistance.
