Clear PET(G) Sheet

Polyethylene Terephthalate (Glycol Modified)

General Overview

Glass Clear

Working Temperature: -40°C to +60°C

High Impact Strength

High Rigidity

Clear PVC sheets

PET(G) is a recently introduced plastic which is glass clear, even in heavy sections. Initially introduced as a packaging material, particularly for medical devices, PET can be sterilised using either ethylene oxide or gamma radiation.


High rigidity, impact strength, food compatability, easy processing and thermoforming make PET a suitable candidate for many shop fitting and display applications.


Sheets do not require pre-drying before heat forming and forming time cycles are much shorter than for other thermoplastics of the same thickness.


General Applications for PET(G)

• Poster Panel Covers

• Signs

• Machine Guards & Security Screens.

• Safety Visors

• Vending Machines

Technical Data & Properties

Clear PET(G)


The information below is specific to the line of Extruded Clear PVC that we hold in general stock, other types of clear PVC are also available, but we do not hold a general stock and are therefore subject to lead times.


Physical

Light Transmission  >86%  DIN 5036

UV Resistance - POOR

All standard clear PET is prone to UV degradation exposure to UV rays and is for indoor use only.

UV stabilised PET is also available, but comes with an associated increase in cost and lead time, as we do not hold general stock.
