MAX-G™ PCTG

MAX-G™ PCTG is an excellent alternative to the ever-popular PETG. Both PCTG and PETG are polyesters and great printing materials, but PCTG offers improved clarity, chemical resistance and impact resistance vs. PETG – making it a more durable engineering-grade option for demanding applications. This material exhibits low shrinkage and excellent dimensional stability making it a go-to for engineering applications. PCTG does not require a heated chamber and is easily printed with the MDPH2, MDPE10, MDPE50

Benefits of PCTG Include:

• Superior chemical resistance to ABS and PETG
• Very low odor while printing
• Amorphous structure giving it a low, near isotropic shrinkage
• Low moisture absorption, 3x lower than ABS
• Wide range of processing from 250-270°C
• Superior ductility vs. PETG

Filament Specifications:

2.85mm +/- 0.05mm in diameter
