Rigid plastic acoustical panels can be made from a range of thermoplastics, including acrylic (plexiglass), polycarbonate, and PETg. This CP focuses on PETg acoustic panels that are sound-absorbing solutions crafted from polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETg) plastic. Sound absorbing panels can be found in schools, offices, hospitals, and other places that need minimal acoustic disruption. Sound reflective or diffusive plastic panels were beyond the scope of this CP. PETg have been glycol modified, allowing them to be less rigid then there PET counterparts. Typically PETg is transparent but can be colored for a variety applications including acoustical panel development. Additionally, similar to PET, PETg may contain recycled content in its design, but it's not clear how common this based upon the available research.
