ABG PetG and CoPET plastic

CoPET (PETg) from ABG

CoPET from ABG is an excellent material for most 3D printer applications. This plastic has high strength characteristics and at the same time is easy to use for 3D printing.

Products made of PETg plastic are used both for printing decorative products, because the plastic has an attractive glossy appearance. As well as for the production of technical products, because this material has high interlayer adhesion.


PETg from ABG is practically not subject to shrinkage and deformation when cooling the model, characterized by high mechanical strength, rigidity and resistance to a wide range of temperatures. The material is durable and has a high impact strength.

Interesting fact! CoPET (PETg) plastic is recognized as safe in contact with food products. In the food industry, this material is used to make plastic bottles for juices and carbonated drinks.

Benefits of ABG's CoPET (PETg) plastic

• Low shrinkage like PLA, but unlike PLA, CoPET plastic is more flexible and has high impact strength, heat resistant, has a long life span;
• The rigidity is almost the same as ABS, but, unlike ABS, has no shrinkage, adhesion of layers is better, safe for humans and the environment (does not emit harmful substances when printing, allowed contact with food);
• Shock resistance is almost the same as Nylon, but working with PETg is many times easier;
• Highly resistant to a range of acids, solvents and alkalis;
• Resistant to water and aqueous solutions of salts, dilute acids and alkalis, aliphatic hydrocarbons, vegetable and animal lubricants and fats;
• Easy to be mechanically processed;
• Resistant to high temperatures
