PCT-G - Poly Cyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate glycol-modified

TECADUR Ensinger Plastics

Poly Cyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate glycol-modified, otherwise known as PCT-G plastic is a clear co-polyester. PCT-G polymer is particularly suited for applications requiring very low extractables, high clarity and very high gamma stability. The material is also characterised by high impact properties. It exhibits many of the properties of polycarbonate with the advantage of containing no BPA, BPS or any other bisphenols.

PCT-G MATERIAL PROPERTIES AND SPECIFICATIONS

PCT-G plastics offers:

  • Excellent impact strength
  • Good chemical resistance
  • High gamma radiation resistance
  • High transparency

TYPICAL PCT-G APPLICATIONS

  • Manifold blocks for life science and analytical equipment
  • Single use mechanical components for biopharma processing 
  • Dental appliances such as clear aligners
  • Various single-use medical device components like respirators
  • Diagnostic and chemical analysis equipment, which require to be biocompatible with exposure to human tissue less than 24 hours and where chemical resistance and clarity are necessary
