Compatibility Rating
At 20°C (68°F)
Excellent
Excellent resistance - recommended for continuous use
At 50°C (122°F)
Poor
Not recommended - significant degradation expected
Why is PETG resistant to Chlorobenzene?
PETG shows excellent resistance to Chlorobenzene 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.
