PETG, is a durable and easy-to-use filament that is often used to blow molding like medical braces, bottles, signage and other durable plastic products. The glycol modifier added to polyethylene terephthalate helps enhance the durability and printability of the filament.
Because it can be FDA certified and is chemical resistant, PETG can be used to mold everything from medical devices to water bottles without raising any cause for concern over safety.
The terephthalate polyester family also includes a lesser known but also glycol-modified copolyester, PCTG. PCTG is similar to PETG in application and molecular structure. However, PCTG has higher chemical resistance, a larger range of melting temperatures, and increased durability. These qualities make PCTG easier to work with while also providing the same safety and recyclability as PETG.
What makes PCTG unique is its superior Izod Impact Resistance. This means it can withstand much higher impacts than similar filaments while still maintaining similar tensile strength and heat resistance.
While PETG remains popular among makers, consider trying similar prints using PCTG. PCTG is an excellent material for makers looking for a tough, easy-to-print and affordable filament.PCT Gmaterialplastic bottle is usually used for water packaging because of its BPA free, food grade, and heat resistance feature.PCTG sports water bottle,this PCTG sports water bottle made by blow molding.
