High Durability PETG Film

Technical Parameters

Material Selection Guide

When specifying PETG, consider the required forming depth and the need for UV protection.

• Forming Application: For extreme deep-draw thermoforming, select a higher molecular weight PETG grade optimized for stretch uniformity.

• Aesthetic Finish: The film can be supplied in a high-gloss, matte, or specialized soft-touch finish, impacting the final look and feel of the product.

• Color Consistency: Ensure color specifications include the opaqueness required, as PETG naturally has high clarity.

Manufacturing and Tailoring

Our calendering lines are adapted to process the higher molecular weight PETG polymer.

• Surface Hard-Coating: An optional post-treatment hard coat can be applied to further elevate the film's scratch and abrasion resistance for high-contact areas.

• Gauge Control: Precise thickness control is maintained, crucial for multi-layer lamination where consistent caliper prevents panel bowing.

• Slitting and Packaging: Films are carefully slit and wound onto tension-controlled cores, often with a protective interleaving sheet to prevent surface scratching.

Deployment FAQ

• Q: Can PETG film be laminated using the same adhesives as PVC?

  A: Yes, PETG is generally compatible with standard polyurethane reactive (PUR) and EVA adhesives, but adhesive manufacturers' guidance should be confirmed for optimal bond strength with the PETG substrate.

• Q: Is the high-durability PETG film approved for medical applications?

  A: Certain formulations of PETG are common in the medical field. We can supply medical-grade compliant resins upon request, subject to specific batch testing and certification.
