PETG Plastic Extrusions

Lakeland Plastics manufactures high-quality PETG extrusions designed to deliver exceptional clarity, impact resistance, and reliable performance for a wide range of applications.

Material Name: PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol)

PETG, or polyethylene terephthalate glycol, is a clear, tough, and highly versatile thermoplastic widely used in plastic extrusion applications that require durability, transparency, and excellent formability. Known for its impact resistance and smooth surface finish, PETG combines the strength of PET with improved flexibility and easier processing. Its clarity, chemical resistance, and food-safe properties make it an ideal choice for both functional and visually appealing extrusion profiles. At Lakeland Plastics, PETG extrusions are manufactured to deliver consistent quality, dimensional accuracy, and long-lasting performance across a wide range of industries.

PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol)

PETG: Definition

Polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) is a modified version of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) that includes glycol in its molecular structure. The addition of glycol reduces brittleness, improves impact resistance, and enhances thermoformability and extrusion performance. PETG is a transparent, amorphous thermoplastic that extrudes smoothly, maintains excellent clarity, and resists cracking under stress. Its balance of strength, flexibility, and chemical stability makes it a reliable material for custom plastic extrusion products requiring both performance and visual appeal.

Pros of PETG

  • Excellent impact resistance and toughness
  • High clarity and glossy surface finish
  • Easy to extrude, form, and fabricate
  • Good chemical resistance to acids, cleaners, and many solvents
  • Food-safe and FDA-compliant grades available
  • Low moisture absorption for dimensional stability
  • Resistant to cracking and stress whitening
  • Can be easily cut, drilled, and machined
  • Accepts colors, printing, and surface finishes well
  • Recyclable and environmentally friendly

Cons of PETG

  • Lower heat resistance than some engineered plastics
  • Can scratch more easily than harder materials
  • Less rigid than materials like polycarbonate or PVC
  • May deform under prolonged high-temperature exposure
  • Not ideal for high-load structural applications
