Pacur® HT Copolyester Sheet
- Chemical Family
- Polyesters
Pacur® HT Copolyester Sheet is an amorphous copolyester that combines excellent clarity and toughness with outstanding heat and chemical resistance. This new generation copolyester can be thermoformed with a wide processing window that allows for product designs that reflect intricate detail. The HT product is suitable for use with most forms of sterilization including ethylene oxide, gamma, electron beam, and gas plasma methods. It is NOT suitable for autoclave/steam sterilization. Pacur HT does not contain Bisphenol A (BPA). It is FDA and USDA approved for use in medical, pharmaceutical, and food packaging applications.
