Veralite 200®: Extruded plastic sheet based upon polyester PETG.

Veralite 200® is an extruded transparent plastic sheet based upon PETG (Glycol modified Polyethylene Terephthalate). PETG has the advantage of not crystallizing when heating. This makes it easily processable.

Veralite 200® is the best choice for complex processing and detailed thermoforming.
