Pacur® PETG FOAM

1 of 12 products in this brand
Pacur® PETG FOAM is a co-extruded combination of PETG Copolyester resin with a proprietary foamed core made from Eastman’s EastaliteTM System. PETG FOAM offers advantages over traditional materials where low weight and sustainability are larger parts of an application’s fitness for use requirements. PETG FOAM is a reliable, safe alternative to high impact polystyrene (HIPS) in the opaque rigid medical packaging market. PETG FOAM also shows considerable manufacturing improvements over HIPS in terms of processing, waste reduction, and reduced cleaning; all resulting in lower overall processing costs.
