Xiamen Baekeland High Clarity Modified PCTG Resin for Medical Devices, Consumer Goods & Packaging Applications
Xiamen Baekeland Modified PCTG (Polycyclohexylene Dimethylene Terephthalate Glycol-modified) resin is an amorphous copolyester engineered for excellent clarity, toughness, and chemical resistance. Compared to standard PETG, modified PCTG offers enhanced thermal stability and better chemical durability, making it ideal for medical devices, consumer electronics, packaging, and other applications requiring transparency and durability.
Key Features
Outstanding Optical Clarity — High transparency with haze typically less than 1%, suitable for premium clear packaging and display parts.
Superior Impact Resistance — Enhanced toughness, ideal for protective covers and medical components.
Excellent Chemical Resistance — Resistant to many acids, bases, and cleaning agents, suitable for repeated sterilization.
Good Thermal Stability — Higher heat resistance compared to PETG, allowing use in higher temperature environments.
Thermoformable & Easy Processing — Compatible with injection molding, extrusion, and thermoforming.
FDA & EU Compliance — Available food and medical contact compliant grades.
