Veralite 100®: Extruded plastic sheet based upon polyester APET.

Veralite 100® is an extruded transparent plastic sheet based upon APET (Amorphous Polyethylene Terephthalate) with an excellent rigidity and a good chemical resistance. Furthermore, Veralite 100® can be crystallized (higher temperature resistance).

Veralite 100® is the ideal product for flat and cold bending applications and can be used in several industries such as construction and visual communication.
