PBT Sheets and Rods

Thermoplastic Polyesters - PBT - Polybutylene terephthalate, PBT, is a semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastic resin that has gained wide acceptance since its commercialization in the early 1970's.

Unreinforced grades offer performance typical of a crystalline polymer, combining good strength and stiffness with low moisture absorption, exceptional thermal stability, excellent electrical insulation properties, outstanding dimensional stability and resistance to the effects of a wide range of chemicals, solvents, and oils.

A wide range of reinforced and modified grades offer opportunities to tailor performance to meet specific application demands. Formulations based on PBT alone, or alloyed with PET or other polymers, are available, all exhibiting very easy processing characteristics, and offering cost-effective solutions to application demands in every end-use category.
