Pro PCTG-GF10 — 10% glass fiber reinforced PCTG, natural color, 1.75 mm filament from 3D-Fuel. A high-performance evolution of PETG, delivering greater toughness, chemical resistance, and clarity, while maintaining a user-friendly printing experience.
Why it matters
Real-world applications and benefits
Print and material compatibility notes
Print profiles for Pro PCTG on the Bambu Lab printers are available here. For AMS compatibility, note that since October 2023, AMS-compliant spool production has applied to 3D-Fuel materials; you may receive an older spool type. This is still AMS-compatible, but you may need to leave the lid open a few millimeters.
Additional context from the compatibility and performance data
Chemical resistance overview (relative advantages of PCTG vs PETG)
| Chemical Type | Examples | PCTG Advantage | PETG Limitation | 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 |
