Overview

PBT(Polybuthylene terephthalate) is a crystalline resin that offers some of the best heat resistance, chemical resistance and electrical properties of all engineering plastics. Crystallization is rapid, so cycle times are short, while weather resistance, friction resistance, wear resistance, dimensional stability and heat aging resistance are all outstanding. PBT is known for its great physical property balance and economical benefits. Importantly, properties are greatly enhanced when glass fiber or mineral filler are added to PBT, and making it flame retardant is very easy. PBT is widely used in TV parts and such electrical parts as connectors, relays and switches. In addition, water absorption is low, and PBT is a highly reliable material for precision parts and automotive parts even after extended periods of use.
Characteristics PBT is a crystalline resin, so cycle time is very short and productivity is high. It is used in many products that are reinforced with glass fiber or other mineral filler. When reinforced with 30% glass fiber, the heat distortion temperature improves from 70oC to 210oC, and mechanical properties are enhanced about three times, making it well suited for use in functional parts. In addition, PBT offers far superior mechanical properties than other engineering plastics do, while water absorption is very low. During injection molding, however, there is a possibility of water decomposition compromising physical properties. Therefore, water content must be kept no higher than 0.02% prior to the injection molding process.
