Polycaprolactone (PCL) High Molecular Weight Series offers exceptional biodegradability, excellent mechanical properties, and superior thermal stability. Designed for medical, packaging, and industrial applications, it ensures sustainability, durability, and reliable processing performance.
Product Overview
Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a high molecular weight polymer synthesized by the ring-opening polymerization of caprolactone monomer. With a molecular weight greater than 10,000, PCL exhibits excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. This series of products is supplied in granule form and is widely used in medical, hot-melt adhesives, 3D printing, and other industries. PCL products feature a low melting point and moderate melt flow index, making them suitable for various processing methods. Common product models include PCL-50T and PCL-80T, tailored for different industrial needs.
