In the manufacturing industry, there are many different types of plastic that you can use to make your products. However, they are not all created equal. One of the most popular types that can be used is called PETG sheet. There are many reasons why this is such a popular variety.
Extra Strength
Most plastics are considered to be quite strong. Sitting at the top of the list, though, is PETG plastic. Due to its strength and its ability to resist most forms of impact, it is commonly used as a glaze on products. More recently, it has become quite popular among the 3D printing industry and it is also favored by retailers who need durable plastic display units.
Safe For Humans
Certain plastics are considered too “soft” to be used with food intended to be consumed by humans. It can leach into the food to drink and present an obvious health hazard. When it comes to PETG, it is considered to be perfectly safe to be used in the manufacturing of food packaging and food containers. Environmentalists will also be pleased to learn that it is 100% fully recyclable, so there is no reason for any of it to end up in a landfill.
No Odor And No Toxicity
When used in the process of 3D printing, there are no odors that are emitted, nor are there any toxic compounds released into the air. This qualifies PETG sheet as being safe to be used in a home-office environment.
