UltraTuf® SG
UltraTuf® SG
General Description
UltraTuf® SG, manufactured using Eastman Tritan® copolyester, is an ideal material for signage and glazing applications. Its strength and versatility provide ease in fabrication using many techniques, including thermoforming, cutting and routing. Due to excellent formability at low temperatures, UltraTuf® SG can be thermoformed after decoration with vinyl graphics and screen inks. UltraTuf® SG provides the strength and formability required without sacrificing superior design aesthetics.
