PETG ESD

FDM

PETG with electrostatic dissipation (ESD) offers protection to delicate electronics during the electronic assembly processes or when used for printed electronic housings. PETG ESD is quite tough with better temperature resistance compared to PLA. It is an excellent choice for end-use parts and parts requiring chemical and moisture resistance.

Colors

Best Uses

  • Electronics Enclosures

  • Jigs & Fixtures that must be ESD Safe

  • ESD Safe parts that require moderate temperature resistance

Characteristics

  • Brittle fracture at failure

  • Hard and tough

  • Glossy (except for PETG CF)

Strengths

  • Electrostatic dissipation

  • Low cost

  • Moderate temperature resistance of ~70°C

  • Balance of detail, strength, and dimensional accuracy

  • Good choice for large FDM parts, but not as good as PLA

  • Good inter-layer adhesion (layer bonding)

Weaknesses

  • Scratch prone

  • Exhibits a minor amount of stringing (small wisps of plastic stuck to the surface of the part)
