Materials
Our designs are 3d printed in premium PETG plastic. Our choice of PETG is an improved PETG blend certified safe in applications requiring contact with food or drink, does not absorb water and it is highly resistant to salts, acids, alkalis and solvents. Made to outlast your fish tank.
PETG or PET-G (Polyethylene terephthalate glycol), is a thermoplastic polyester. A durable plastic widely used in various applications due to its favourable properties.
Some Key Aspects of PETG
Due to its safety and chemical resistance, PETG is suitable for aquarium applications. It can be used to create aquarium decorations, structures, and components.
PETG is safe to use in applications requiring contact with food or drink and is commonly used in the production of food containers, beverage bottles, and other packaging materials.
PETG exhibits resistance to a wide range of chemicals, along with alkali, acid and it doesn’t deteriorate with water.
It is a durable and strong material, providing good impact resistance. This makes it suitable for applications that require robustness.
Like other PET plastics, PETG is recyclable. It can be recycled and repurposed for various applications.
PETG is a type of polyester that results from the copolymerization of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. It is part of the PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) family but contains glycol, which enhances its properties. PETG is known for its clarity, toughness, and chemical resistance, making it suitable for various applications, including packaging, 3D printing, and medical devices.
