The Analysis Of The Difference Between APET And PETG


APET and PETG are both the copolymers of PET,  collectively referred to as PET, which are different in structure and application.

 

1.     Structural differences

PETG is a PET copolymer made by copolymerization modification of glycol (Glycolic), with high transparency, good toughness and impact strength, excellent low-temperature toughness and processing performance, excellent chemical resistance, and environmental protection. PETG film products are more transparent and can even be colorless.

 

APET is a PET copolymer made by copolymerization modification of dicarboxylic acid (Acidic), with a non-crystalline structure, good folding resistance, not prone to cracks, light specific gravity, high transparency and good gloss, high strength, excellent low-temperature impact resistance, is environmentally friendly and degradable material.

 

2.    Application difference

PETG is often used to make cosmetic bottles, food packaging, toys, and medical equipment due to its excellent transparency, impact resistance, and processability.

 

APET is widely used in packaging materials, sheets, films, and protective films for electronic product displays due to its good barrier properties, transparency, and mechanical properties.
