  Thermx® PCT high performance polyester

Thermx® PCT…Takes more heat
Take everything you like about PBT or PET polyesters; then add more resistance to peak temperatures and hydrolysis. The result: DuPont™ Thermx® PCT, the latest in a range of high performance polymers now added to the DuPont portfolio. Attributes and features include:

  • High-temperature assembly: Withstands SMT reflow soldering

  • High-temperature service: Retains useful strength, toughness with age

  • Chemical resistance: auto fluids, circuit board cleaning agents and more

  • Excellent colorability

  • Hydrolysis resistance: Performs well in USCAR Class 4 tests

  • Dimensional stability: Negligible moisture effect

  • Arc tracking resistance: A valuable asset for 42-volt auto electrical applications
Typical applications
A wide range of injection molded components for electrical, electronics, automotive, appliance, and other industrial and consumer products. Typical parts include circuit board connectors, automotive connectors (headers), lamp sockets and relays. Contact your DuPont representative regarding grades that are suitable for repeated use in food-contact articles for houseware applications.

DuPont™ Thermx® PCT comes in a wide range of grades, including glass and/or mineral-reinforced and flame-retardant (V-0 UL94B) resins. The base polymer is polycyclohexylene-dimethylene terephthalate.
