PETG — Chemical Resistant FDM
Easy-printing, chemical-resistant FDM polymer for functional parts.
PETG offers an excellent balance between ease of printing, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance. It is more flexible than ABS, less brittle than PLA, and has good layer adhesion. PETG is commonly used for containers, housings in chemical environments, and functional enclosures. It is largely transparent in natural form and can be used for simple light-diffusion covers.
