1 product grades in this material family

Material Overview

PETG combines the ease of printing found in PLA with the strength, durability and chemical resistance of engineered materials. Its low shrinkage and excellent layer adhesion make it a reliable all-rounder for functional parts, containers and outdoor use, and it can be printed near-transparent.

Properties

  • Density 1.27 g/cm3; tensile strength 50 MPa; elongation at break 50%+; excellent chemical and moisture resistance; near-zero warpage; available in transparent and opaque grades.

Key Advantages

  • Low warp and excellent interlayer bonding; durable and moisture-resistant for practical parts; can be printed transparent; no enclosure required; food-contact grades available on request.

Printing Parameters

  • Print temperature: 230-250 deg C; bed: 70-80 deg C; speed: 25-50 mm/s; nozzle 0.4mm; dry at 65 deg C for 4h; avoid excessive cooling to preserve transparency and bonding.
