PC-PBT

What Is polycarbonate-polybutylene terephthalate (PC-PBT)?

Polycarbonate-polybutylene terephthalate (PC-PBT) is a thermoplastic blend that combines the desirable properties of polycarbonate (PC) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). It offers excellent impact resistance, heat resistance, dimensional stability, and chemical resistance.

Neway utilizes various grades of PC-PBT for injection molding, including:

• PC-PBT Blend Grade A

• PC-PBT Blend Grade B

• PC-PBT Blend Grade C

• PC-PBT Flame Retardant Grade

• PC-PBT High-Heat Grade

PC-PBT Blend Grade A

1. High Impact Strength: PC-PBT Blend Grade A offers excellent impact resistance, making it suitable for durable and tough applications. It's often used in automotive interior components like dashboard parts.

2. Good Heat Resistance: This grade exhibits suitable heat deflection temperature, allowing it to withstand elevated temperatures. It's a choice for parts in electrical enclosures and lighting fixtures.

3. Low Shrinkage: Low shrinkage properties make it ideal for producing intricate and precise components, including connectors and housings for electronic devices.

PC-PBT Blend Grade B
