Pacur® PETG Copolyester Sheet
- Chemical Family
- GlycolsPolyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
Pacur® PETG Copolyester Sheet is extruded from copolyester resin. It is a remarkably clear and tough material, making it ideally suited for use as a blister packaging material. It is both FDA and USDA approved for use in medical device, pharmaceutical, and food packaging applications. It will withstand ethylene oxide, gamma, electron beam, and gas plasma sterilization. Other end uses include general purpose blister packaging, graphic applications, and stationary supplies.
