Product Description
Technical Grade
Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a biodegradable, semicrystalline polyester known for its excellent flexibility, toughness, and low melting point. This technical-grade variant is designed for industrial applications, offering good processability, chemical resistance, and compatibility with various polymer systems. Its slow degradation rate and hydrophobic nature make it ideal for coatings, adhesives, and composite materials, rather than medical applications.
Applications:
3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing: Used as a thermoplastic feedstock for low-temperature extrusion and prototyping applications.
Adhesives & Sealants: Enhances flexibility and adhesion in hot-melt adhesives and industrial coatings.
Polymer Blends & Composites: Acts as a compatibilizer or modifier in polymer blends to improve mechanical properties.
Coatings & Surface Treatments: Provides hydrophobic, durable coatings for industrial materials and packaging applications.
