Benefits of PETG Include:

• Superior chemical resistance to ABS
• Very low odor while printing
• Amorphous structure giving it a low, near isotropic shrinkage
• Low moisture absorption, 3x lower than ABS
• Wide range of processing from 230-260°C
• Superior ductility vs. ABS

Chemical Resistance of PETG:

Unstressed tensile bars molded of PETG exhibit good resistance to dilute aqueous solutions of mineral acids, bases, salts, and soaps, as well as aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, and a variety of oils. Halogenated hydrocarbons, short chain length ketones, and aromatic hydrocarbons still dissolve or swell the plastic.
