Key Features at a glance:

Excellent impact strength (up to 20X times greater than standard PET-G)
Excellent chemical resistance (see TDS for more details)
High visual transparency making it a great choice for decorative items where high durability is desired
Easy to print with dimensional stability, and low shrinkage making this material great for beginners as well as more advanced printers
Suitable for contact with food*, and BPA free

Sample Size:

Samples are a great option for trying out a new material, color or when comparing different testing parameters of similar options.
Samples vary in weight as different materials have different densities and generally range from 20-40 grams.

THE ALTERNATIVE TO PET-G

PCTG belongs to the same family of polyesters as the increasingly popular PET-G. Compared to its more popular counterpart, PCTG offers increased impact strength, temperature resistance and clarity, making it an excellent alternative to PET-G.

This filament does not require a heated chamber, which makes it ideal for use with home printers. It ensures high dimensional stability, while low shrinkage prevents the model from cracking. This makes it an easy-to-print material, even for people without a lot of experience in 3D printing.

PCTG is characterized by a much higher impact strength compared to similar materials (e.g. PET-G). It achieves results in the region of 90 KJ/m² (PET-G: 5-8 KJ/m²) in the Izod test (notched sample). PCTG also withstands higher temperatures (up to 76°C).

Fiberlogy PCTG is recyclable and approved for contact with food *.

This material is also BPA free.
