What is the difference between PET and PETG?

PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) Polyethylene terephthalate (PETG) is a crystalline polyester. PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol-modified) PETG is modified by adding ethylene glycol to prevent partial crystallization, making it softer and easier to process. 1. Environmental performance: PET and PETG are both recyclable and environmentally friendly new materials. 2. Production process: Our PET is BOPET, which adopts the production process of biaxial stretching, while PETG is extruded and then coated, so PET has better scratch resistance. 3. Our PET is BOPET. PET is stretched longitudinally and transversely during the production process, and its scratch resistance is slightly better than PETG. PETG is longitudinally stretched and extruded before coating. PETG adopts a three-layer GAG structure, so the color difference can be better controlled. 4. Applications: Our PET is usually converted into transparent film with a hardness of 3-4H, and PETG is converted into colored film. The color difference control rate between different batches can reach ΔE<1, with almost no color difference.
