Data sources
Where every number comes from
Every number on this site traces back to something on this page: a manufacturer data sheet, a legal instrument, an official statistic, or a retail price we observed on a stated date. Where nobody publishes a property for a material class, we leave the row out rather than estimate it.

How to read a number here
- 01
The standard matters as much as the number. Notched Charpy, notched Izod and unnotched impact on the same polymer differ by an order of magnitude. Every property row names its own method.
- 02
These are the named grade's numbers, not your spool's. Two manufacturers' PETG can differ by 30 %. Use them to choose a material class, not to size a structural part.
- 03
A printed part is weaker than a test specimen. Values are XY; in Z, strength is often about half. Layer height, extrusion width and temperature move the result more than most differences between grades.
- 04
Numbers age. The retrieval date sits next to every source. Manufacturers reformulate without renaming the product.
ZORVA testing
None yet. ZORVA has not published its own test results; when it does they will appear here and replace the reference values above.

SUNLU
PETG2.0 — Technical Data Sheet (SL-TE-WI-074, A/1) ↗Impact is notched Izod (ISO 180), not the notched Charpy (ISO 179) Polymaker publishes — the two columns do not compare directly. Specimens printed at 255 °C, 100 % infill. PDF hosted by the retailer 3DJake.
Retrieved 2026-10-03
extrudr
PCTG — Technical Data Sheet (26 Jun 2025) ↗The sheet does not say whether specimens were printed or injection-moulded. 215 % elongation and 94 kJ/m² notched Izod are typical of moulded base-resin specimens — FDM parts will read lower, especially along Z.
Retrieved 2026-10-03

Formlabs
Standard Resins — technical data sheet ↗The sheet publishes two columns: green parts and post-cured parts. They differ by nearly a factor of two in tensile strength, so reading the wrong column is reading the wrong material.
