NUDEC® PETg
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.

- Storage
An incorrect storage position can lead to permanent deformation.; The sheets should be stored in closed premises that guarantee normal environmental conditions.; The sheets should be stored one on top of the other on flat horizontal surfaces and fully supported over their total area.; The topmost panel should be covered with a sheet of polyethylene or cardboard etc.; NUDEC® PETg sheets must not be stored in direct sunlight or under conditions of high humidity and/or temperature as this can have a negative effect of protective film adhesion.
