PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol)
Tough, clear thermoplastic in sheets for displays, machine guards, and food-contact applications.
Food grade
FDA compliant
Up to 70°C
Max temperature
Formable
Vacuum & heat
PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol-modified) is a tough, clear thermoplastic combining the clarity of acrylic with improved impact resistance and thermoformability. P&M Plastics fabricates PETG for machine guards, face shields, displays, and food-contact applications.
PETG is an excellent alternative to acrylic where impact resistance is needed, and to polycarbonate where food-grade compliance is required.
Key Properties
Common Applications
How We Fabricate PETG
PETG is fabricated using CNC routing, laser cutting, and vacuum forming. It thermoforms readily and doesn't stress-whiten when cold-bent, making it versatile for both flat and formed applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does PETG compare to acrylic? +
PETG has better impact resistance and doesn't crack when drilled or stressed. Acrylic has better optical clarity and scratch resistance. PETG is ideal where toughness matters more than optical perfection.
Can PETG be vacuum formed? +
Yes, PETG is one of the best plastics for vacuum forming. It thermoforms easily and produces clean, consistent parts.
Is PETG recyclable? +
Yes, PETG is part of the PET plastic family and is widely recyclable.
