Optical Excellence and Stability
Available in its natural colorless form with high transparency, in translucent blue and solid black, Ultrafuse® Pellets rPETG delivers a high-gloss finish ideal for applications demanding superior optical appearance and surface quality.
With low to no warping or distortion, Ultrafuse® Pellets rPETG combines excellent surface quality, transparency, and mechanical properties, making it the first choice for large-scale additive manufacturing (LSAM) and sustainable 3D printing projects.
Sustainable, Traceable and Food Safe
No less than 44 % of total waste* is generated by plastics. The 3D printing community provides a powerful opportunity to make current manufacturing methods more sustainable, so we have challenged ourselves again to create a pellet grade made from recycled material that is a serious alternative to virgin raw materials.
Made from recycled and glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate (PET) derived from traceable post-industrial waste, Ultrafuse® Pellets rPETG ensures food contact safety through a unique recycling process.
This modification enhances the material’s flexibility, impact resistance, and processing ease while maintaining its clarity, making PETG ideal for applications requiring durability, transparency, and easy manufacturing.
