PCTA

  • Apr 11, 2025

PCTA is a copolyester plastic raw material. It has high transparency, good toughness and impact strength, excellent low-temperature toughness, high tear resistance and good processing performance, excellent chemical resistance, can be electroplated, sprayed, scratch-resistant, 16% lower density than PC, 40% lower processing cost than PC, good printing, coloring, electroplating performance, toughness 3 times higher than transparent ABS, in line with the European RoHS environmental protection directive, suitable for high-end cosmetics, electronic and electrical internal materials, toys, high-end pens, and can replace PC in various fields. It can be processed by traditional extrusion, injection molding, blow molding and blister molding. It is widely used in the market of sheet materials, high-performance shrink film, bottle and profile materials; it can be used to produce toys, household utensils and medical supplies.

Introduction

PCTA copolymer is a polymer formed by cyclohexanedimethanol and terephthalic acid, and other acids partially replacing terephthalic acid as needed. Compared with PET, it has lower extractability, better heat resistance, low-temperature impact resistance and hydrolysis stability. It can be used in oriented and cast films, thermoformed plates and monofilaments. The normal PCTA copolyester extruded film properties are: extremely bright transparency, good low temperature toughness, high tear resistance and chemical resistance. Changing the acid ratio when synthesizing PCTA copolyester can give the polymer different unique properties. For example, it can have a high crystalline melting temperature (545F) and is used to make bakeable plates. PCTA can also be blended with other polyesters or filled with glass fiber and mica to meet various performance requirements. PCTA copolyester products can be used for various purposes in contact with food, which is stipulated in FDA specification 21CFR-177-12401, and is also approved by USDA for use as meat and poultry packaging materials. The raw material supplier is mainly Eastman in the United States.
