High Clarity Modified PETG Resin for Medical Devices, Packaging & Display Applications-Baekeland (Xiamen)
Baekeland (Xiamen) Modified PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol-modified) resin is an amorphous copolyester known for its excellent clarity, toughness, and ease of processing. This modified grade provides superior impact resistance, chemical resistance, and thermal stability, making it an ideal choice for medical devices, flexible packaging, and display applications where transparency and durability are critical.
Key Features
Outstanding Optical Clarity – High transparency with haze less than 1%, ideal for clear packaging and displays.
Excellent Impact Resistance – Superior toughness compared to standard PET, with enhanced cold temperature performance.
Good Chemical Resistance – Resistant to acids, bases, and many solvents, suitable for medical and food-contact applications.
Thermoformable and Easy Processing – Compatible with injection molding, extrusion, and thermoforming processes.
Dimensional Stability – Low shrinkage and excellent surface finish for precision parts.
FDA & EU Compliance – Grades available compliant with food and medical contact standards.
