The potential of high-impact PCTG inspired Spectrum to develop another composite based on this copolyester – Spectrum PCTG GF10. The use of glass fibre filling has resulted in a high-strength filament with an intriguingly matt surface.
FeaturesSpecsSupport
When creating the composition, we paid particular attention to reducing the abrasiveness of the glass fibres, which is typical for this type of filling. For this reason, we used functionalised glass fibres with a less aggressive geometry, reducing degradation of the printer nozzle.
Spectrum PCTG GF10 is a technical filament with high stiffness and hardness. Thanks to its extremely high interlayer adhesion and low shrinkage, it allows even intermediate users to execute large prints.
In addition, the glass fibres give the prints a distinctive texture, which, in addition to its undoubted aesthetic qualities, also translates into increased usability. Models made from Spectrum PCTG GF10 can be used wherever increased adhesion, increased durability against cyclic load and chemical resistance are important.
Key features:
• Heat deflection temperature HDT - 76°C
• High stiffness and tensile strength
• Good impact resistance
• High surface quality after printing
• Good corrosion resistance
• Chemical resistance
• Good chemical resistance and electrical and thermal insulation
• High dimensional accuracy of the printed elements
Applications:
• Visual and functional prototyping
• Manufacture of safety devices, housings and covers
• Electrical safety components
• Conceptual models
• Manufacture of parts exposed to chemical agents
• Manufacturing tools and equipment
Packaging

Spectrum Premium PCTG filament is an excellent alternative to PET-G, which is well-known in the 3D printing world. Belonging to the same material family of copolyesters, PCTG filament offers similar ease of printing as PET-G.
The first of the PCTG-based composites we developed was a carbon fibre version - PCTG CF10. The carbon fibres used give the filament an extremely high stiffness, while reducing the brittle fracture typical for other PETG-based carbon composites. PCTG CF10 filament allows the printing of parts with increased hardness and tensile strength compared to classic PCTG. The use of carbon fibres increases the thermal resistance of the filament, further reduces shrinkage and gives the characteristic carbon matt appearance to the printed models.
