Carbon Tetrachloride Resistance of PETG

Is PETG compatible with Carbon Tetrachloride? See the chemical resistance rating below.

Compatibility Rating

At 20°C (68°F)
A
Excellent
Excellent resistance - recommended for continuous use
At 50°C (122°F)
D
Poor
Not recommended - significant degradation expected

Why is PETG resistant to Carbon Tetrachloride?

PETG shows excellent resistance to Carbon Tetrachloride due to its glycol-modified polyester structure providing moderate chemical resistance.

⚠️ When NOT to use PETG

Avoid using PETG with strong acids, alkalis, and most organic solvents. Better impact resistance than PET but lower chemical resistance.
