Gremlin3D PCTG
For prints that need excellent toughness, impact resistance, and chemical resistance, Gremlin3D PCTG is a versatile choice for functional parts and everyday-use products. This PCTG filament combines strong impact performance with high transparency and a smooth surface gloss, making it suitable for both functional and visually appealing prints.
Gremlin3D PCTG is designed for FDM printing and offers excellent toughness with a 13.6 kJ/m² notched IZOD impact strength in the XY direction. It also provides good chemical resistance against a range of common substances, including water, alcohol, petroleum fuels, and esters.
With a heat deflection temperature of 79°C and low shrinkage of 0.1–0.3%, PCTG is well suited for applications where durability and dimensional stability are important.
