PETG Premium Spectrum - 1.75mm 1Kg - Glassy

PETG is a thermoplastic polyethylene polyester. This is the most common thermoplastic polymer resin in the polyester family, and is used in fibers for clothing, liquid and food containers, thermoforming for manufacturing, and in combination with fiberglass for engineering resins.

PET-G is the ideal material for producing transparent packaging and other products that require impact resistance.

Chemical resistance

Spectrum PET-G Premium is the second most popular material for desktop 3D printing. A major advantage provided by Spectrum PET-G Premium is the virtually zero shrinkage rate and low moisture absorption compared to other thermoplastics used for FDM/FFF 3D printing. Items made from PET-G maintain stable properties over a long service life. Spectrum PET-G Premium combines advantages of PLA and ABS. It also provides nearly trouble-free printing and exceptional adhesion between layers.

As for the other properties of Spectrum PET-G Premium, the good creep resistance under constant load conditions stands out. It results from the very good cohesion between the layers of the applied material. This leads to much lower mechanical anisotropy in printed items, meaning that for each manufacturing direction the mechanical properties differ less than in other thermoplastics designed for 3D printing.

The very good mechanical properties of Spectrum PET-G Premium combined with its chemical resistance determine the application of this material for the manufacture of items with relatively high dimensional accuracy and stability of both shapes and mechanical properties. Consequently, these are mainly gear wheels and sliding bearings subjected to relatively high static loads in an aqueous environment. PET-G is also used to manufacture semi-transparent casings and backlit sections of various signs and signs.

The granules and pigments used in the production of Spectrum PET-G Premium are approved for contact with food.

Packaging

The filament is wound on a transparent spool. Each spool contains information about the material type, diameter and recommended printing temperature. The filament is vacuum packed with a moisture absorber.

During production, every 1 mm of filament is measured continuously in 2 axes with an accuracy of ± 0.8 µm. To make sure that the measurement result is reliable, certified laser measuring devices are used. Each spool receives a sticker with an individual QR code and spool ID. In the final step, the collected data is transported to the database, which allows the final consumer to check online the average diameter, ovality, standard deviation and production date of each individually manufactured spool.
