PETG

This polyester resin is produced from PTA and CHDM or NPG ( very low quantity of PETG ) .

Is it possible to use other glycol or how is it possible to riduce crystallization without CHDM and with same performance ?

Thanks

Johnny

Yes. Anything to disrupt the crystalline structure of the PET, e.g. DEG, IPA or branches.

IPA and DEG are ok with 2 % , but crystallization is still very high . To eliminate crystallization ( clear ,never completely)it's necessary

20/30% IPA or more and the performances are very low.

Thanks
