Key Properties of PCTG Resin

Exceptional Clarity & Gloss

PCTG resin provides crystal-clear transparency with high light transmittance. Its optical-grade quality makes it perfect for displays, packaging, and medical applications.

Superior Impact Resistance

Stronger than PMMA and PC, PCTG offers high toughness and crack resistance. It ensures durability and safety, making it ideal for consumer goods and protective products.

Excellent Chemical Resistance

PCTG withstands alcohols, detergents, oils, and personal care formulations. Its superior chemical resistance makes it a great choice for medical devices and cosmetic packaging.

BPA-Free & FDA Approved Grades

Safe for food, beverages, and healthcare applications, PCTG meets FDA and EU regulations. It is a BPA-free, non-toxic material, ensuring health and safety compliance.

Easy to Process with Low Shrinkage

PCTG is compatible with injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding. Its low shrinkage and dimensional stability allow manufacturers to produce consistent, high-quality parts with ease.

Cost-Effective Alternative to PC resin

With similar durability and superior chemical resistance, PCTG is easier to process and more stable, helping reduce manufacturing costs and energy consumption.

Applications of PCTG Plastic:

Medical & Healthcare (Syringes, vials, inhalers, diagnostic devices)

Consumer Goods (Transparent containers, cosmetic bottles, reusable water bottles)

Automotive Components (Light covers, interior trim, control panels)

LED & Electrical Applications (Light diffusers, protective panels, transparent casings)

Food & Beverage Packaging (FDA-compliant bottles, food storage containers, clear drinkware)

Key Takeaways: the final material choice depends on application needs, durability expectations, and cost constraints.

PCTG offers high transparency, superior impact resistance, and excellent chemical resistance, making it ideal for medical, cosmetics, and industrial applications.

PETG is a lower-cost alternative but has slightly lower toughness and chemical resistance compared to PCTG.

PC has the highest impact resistance and heat stability, but it is harder to process and requires coatings to improve surface durability.

PMMA provides the highest clarity and UV resistance, but it is brittle and less impact-resistant.

PET is best for low-cost packaging, but it lacks the durability and resistance of PCTG.

PC/ABS is used for structural applications requiring high impact strength, but it is not ideal for transparent or food-contact products.

PCTG Resin FAQs

What are the differences between PCTG, PETG, and standard PET?

PCTG resin has higher impact strength and chemical resistance than PETG, while both outperform standard PET in durability and heat resistance.

Do you offer food-grade and medical-grade PCTG material?

Yes! Our FDA-approved, BPA-free PCTG plastic is ideal for food and healthcare applications, complying with EU & US safety regulations.

Can PCTG resin be used for blow molding and injection molding?

Absolutely! PCTG material is widely used for both extrusion blow molding (bottles) and injection molding (consumer goods & medical components) .

What are the recommended injection molding settings for PCTG plastic?

Melt Temperature: 220-250°C
Mold Temperature: 40-60°C
Drying Required: Yes, 4 hours at 65°C to reduce moisture absorption.

Is PCTG resistant to cleaning agents and disinfectants?

Yes! PCTG plastic withstands harsh detergents, alcohol-based sanitizers, and other cleaning agents, making it suitable for medical and personal care applications.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for PCTG resin?

Standard Grades: 1 ton (500 kg trial orders available) .
Custom Formulations: 3 tons minimum based on requirements.

Does Suke Plastics offer color-matched or UV-resistant PCTG material?
