Chemical Resistance

Chemical Type

Examples

PCTG Advantage

PETG Limitation

Comparison (CRR)

Alcohols

Isopropyl alcohol (IPA), ethanol, methanol

Resists prolonged exposure without degrading or cracking.

Degrades or stress cracks with high alcohol concentrations over time.

1.8

Hydrocarbons

Hexane, heptane, gasoline, mineral spirits

Better resistance to hydrocarbon-based solvents.

Softens or weakens when exposed to hydrocarbons.

2.0

Acids

Acetic acid, citric acid, phosphoric acid

Maintains structural integrity in mild to moderately concentrated acids.

Degrades faster in acidic environments at higher concentrations.

1.4

Bases (Alkalis)

Sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide

Better resistance to strong alkalis.

May crack or degrade when exposed to strong bases.

1.33

Cleaning Agents

Bleach (sodium hypochlorite), industrial degreasers, detergent solutions

Withstands harsh cleaning agents without discoloration or damage.

Discolors, cracks, or loses properties with harsh cleaning agents over time.

1.5

Oils and Lubricants

Engine oils, hydraulic fluids, cutting oils

Resists degradation from prolonged exposure to oils.

Absorbs oils over time, potentially leading to swelling or weakening.

1.6

Ketones

Acetone, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK)

Performs slightly better in low-concentration ketones.

Softens or dissolves more readily in ketone-rich environments.

1.2

Drying

For both materials, drying before printing and proper storage is recommended for optimal performance, but PCTG is less maintenance-intensive in this regard.

When you need to dry Pro PCTG, use a temperature of 60-70C for 4-8 hours.

Quality:
All 3D-Fuel 3D printer filament is manufactured in the United States. We have complete control over the manufacturing process and can ensure consistent quality for every spool. Learn more about 3D-Fuel filament quality.

Diameter Tolerance:
Variable 3D filament diameters can cause significant problems in your 3D printer. We use a multi-axis laser measurement system to control our filament diameter and ovality in real time during production.

Packing Information:
A full 1kg (2.2 lbs) of Pro PCTG plastic filament arrives on a durable plastic reel compatible with the Bambu Lab AMS. The reel is vacuum-sealed with a desiccant packet to keep out moisture.

Test Printing: 
The 3D-Fuel test lab features multiple brands of 3D printers, including Bambu Lab, Creality3D, Prusa, Raise3D, MakerBot, LulzBot, FlashForge, and more. We use what we manufacture in our 3D printing operations to ensure that our filament provides the best quality possible.

Print Profile

Bambu AMS Compatibility

Since October 2023, the 3D-Fuel Standard PLA+ has been manufactured using an AMS-compliant spool (more info on our spool sizes and weights). Since it takes time for some colors to move through our warehouse inventory, you may receive an older spool type. This is still compatible with the AMS, but you must leave the lid open a few mm.

Question *

What makes Pro PCTG better than PETG?

Pro PCTG is up to 20x tougher than PETG, offering superior impact resistance, higher clarity, and better chemical resistance while maintaining the same ease of printing.

Does Pro PCTG require an enclosed printer?

No! Pro PCTG prints just like PETG and does not require an enclosure, making it easy to use on open-frame printers.

Is Pro PCTG moisture-sensitive?

It has a lower moisture absorption rate than PETG, but for best results, store it in a dry, sealed container when not in use.

Can Pro PCTG be used for outdoor applications?

Yes! With high impact resistance and strong chemical durability, Pro PCTG is great for functional parts, outdoor components, and industrial use.

Is Pro PCTG food-safe?

While PCTG is generally considered safer than many other 3D printing materials, food safety depends on additives and printing conditions. We recommend checking specific regulations before using it for food-related applications.
