NUDEC®PETg plastic sheets are easily processed as they can be molded into different pieces and shapes other polymers cannot. They are easily thermoformed, even in thick gages (up to 12 mm). This is one of the most valued properties within the transformation process of PETg plastic sheets. Unlike PC, PETg sheets do not require pre-drying and can be thermoformed in thicknesses greater than those of PMMA. Furthermore, they can be cold bent (up to 2 mm thickness) and can also be laser-cut.
