PCT-G plastic - Polycyclohexylene dimethylene terephthalate

The glycol modified PCT-G plastic is a transparent copolyester known by the chemical name polycyclohexylene dimethylene terephthalate. PCT-G material is particularly suitable for applications requiring very low extractables, high clarity and very high gamma stability. PCT-G polymer is also characterised by very high impact strength. It combines many of the properties of polycarbonate with the advantage of containing no BPA, BPS or other bisphenols.

The material PCT-G is manufactured and sold by Ensinger as stock shapes in the form of rods and sheets and can also be further processed by machining.

In line with our portfolio of polyester polymers like PBT and PET, PCT-G plastics are supplied by Ensinger under the tradename TECADUR. Ensinger is a supplier for PCT-G shapes in the following forms:

• PCT-G rod 
• PCT-G sheet / plate

• Manifold blocks for life science and analytical equipment
• Disposable mechanical components for biopharma processing
• Dental devices such as clear aligners
• Various single-use medical device components like respirators
• Diagnostic and chemical analysis equipment that must be biocompatible when exposed to human tissue for less than 24 hours and where chemical resistance and clarity are required
