PBT
Technical solution for electrical, mechanical and structural components
(Polybutylene Terephthalate) is a semi-crystalline engineering polymer belonging to the polyester family. It is valued for its excellent dimensional stability, heat resistance, resistance to chemical agents, and high rigidity. These properties make it ideal for use in sectors such as electrical engineering, automotive, mechanical, and technical lighting.
IonPlast offers PBT in multiple formulations, including reinforced, flame-retardant, elastomer-modified, lubricated, and hydrolysis-stabilized versions.
