Polyesters (PET, PET-G, A-PET) - modern clear plastics for technical and advertising applications
PLEXIPLAST s.r.o. offers a wide range of polyester plates of PET, PET-G and A-PET type, suitable for technical, industrial and advertising applications.
Polyesters are modern, environmentally recyclable materials with excellent clarity, toughness and chemical resistance.
Their properties make them an alternative to Plexiglas and polycarbonate, especially where high strength and safety are required at an affordable price.
What are polyesters (PET, PET-G, A-PET)
Polyesters are a group of thermoplastic polymers based on polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
Depending on the processing and material modification, three main types are distinguished:
PET (polyethylene terephthalate)
- Hard, rigid material with high dimensional stability
- Resistant to wear, chemicals and oils
- Suitable for machine parts, cut-outs and technical parts
PET-G
- Modified polyester with higher toughness and formability
- Excellent clarity and vacuum formability
- Ideal for advertising and protective applications
- Suitable for printing, gluing and laser cutting
A-PET (AMORPHOUS)
- Economical variant for packaging, displays and fillers
- Good flexibility, clarity and recyclability
- Suitable for food applications (safe contact with food)
Main properties of polyester plates
- High clarity and surface gloss
- Excellent impact toughness
- Thermoformability (PET-G)
- Resistance to chemicals, oils and grease
- Possibility of printing, gluing and welding
- 100% recyclable materials
Difference between PET, PET-G and A-PET
| Type of polyester | Basic description | Main features |
|---|---|---|
| PET (polyethylene terephthalate) |
Technical material with high strength and dimensional stability. Tough and precise,similar polyamide (PA), but clear. |
|
| PET-G (modified PET with glycol component) |
Modified PET, into which glycol is added to make it softer, easier to shape and less fragile. |
|
| A-PET (amorphous PET) |
The economical PET variant, using amorphous the structure of the polymer. Less tougher than PET-G, but cheaper and suitable for packaging. |

Summary in practice:
- PET → hard, precise, technical material (engineering, parts production)
- PET-G → universal, clear, mouldable (advertising, protective covers, industry)
- A-PET → cheaper, recyclable, for lightweight applications (packaging, displays, food)
Use of polyesters (PET, PET-G, A-PET)
Polyester sheets are used in a wide range of industrial and design applications:
- Protective bulkheads, covers and shields
- Advertising and POP/POS stands, displays and banners
- Packaging and Food Industry (A-PET)
- Moulded parts, mouldings, equipment covers
- Machinery and technical components (PET, PET-G)
- Glazing and filling of interior elements
