"O" Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (Provista™ or PETG)
Wall and Corner Guards
are listed below.
Developed in recent years by the Eastman Chemical Company, Provista
is a copolymer with many of the same attributes as PC. While not as
strong as Polycarbonate, Provista has some advantages over Polycarbonate.
It is generally less costly than Polycarbonate and is more environmentally
friendly. Provista has no plasticizers or halogen-containing compounds
and produces no toxic substances when burning. It is also compliant
with FDA regulations for food contact applications and is more chemical
resistant then Polycarbonate. Provista was created with extrusion
work in mind, and is most often used in the production of clear extruded
products such as point-of-purchase displays.
