Polybutylene Terephthalate Exablend PBT W3100

Description


A PBT-based compound. Heat-stabilized, hydrolysis-resistant, light-stabilized and UV-stabilized. Bright white color.

A well-balanced material with excellent gloss, low moisture absorption and stable properties under a variety of environmental conditions.

Advantages

  • bright white color
  • higher strength than ABS plastic
  • no warpage and dimensional stability
  • low price
  • a circular economy product with minimal CO2 emissions

Applications


A material with a wide range of applications. Its benchmark white brightness, unattainable for polyamide and ABS plastic, makes Exablend W3100 suitable for molding high-quality hardware. It can be used instead of polyamide as a more modern replacement and does not cause warpage or sink marks thanks to its shrinkage anisotropy.
