PETG-HT is engineered to have an increased glass transition temperature (Tg), which is the temperature at which the material transitions from a rigid to a soft and pliable state. This enhanced formulation allows it to withstand higher heat environments compared to standard PETG filament.
The higher Tg of PETG-HT makes it suitable for applications where exposure to elevated temperatures is expected, such as functional prototypes, automotive components, mechanical parts, and industrial tooling. It offers improved dimensional stability, reduced warping, and enhanced resistance to heat deformation compared to regular PETG filament.
PETG-HT retains many of the desirable properties of PETG, including good layer adhesion, low shrinkage, and resistance to chemicals, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of 3D printing applications.
