Thermx PCT

Thermx PCT

Polycyclohexylene-Dimethylene Terephthalate

Thermx polycyclohexylene dimethylene terephthalate (PCT) combines the chemical resistance, processability and dimensional stability of PBT or PET with the added resistance to peak temperatures and hydrolysis to deliver superior performance and value through fast molding cycles and excellent processability.

Overview

Product overview

PCT offers the desirable chemical resistance, processability and dimensional stability of engineering polyesters like PET and PBT.

What is Thermx PCT?Thermx PCT polyester is a high-temperature polyester based on polycyclohexylene-dimethylene terephthalate chemistry.

Why Thermx?The added heat resistance of Thermx PCT makes it particularly well suited for demanding automotive and electrical / electronics applications – even under fluctuating environmental conditions. Customers also benefit from its fast-molding cycles and excellent processability. For more information and about Thermx PCT polymer and its use in your product, please contact Celanese today.
