Mechanical Properties
PBT-CF30 is engineered to deliver superior mechanical performance, with 30% carbon fiber reinforcement providing significantly higher stiffness, strength, and wear resistance compared to unreinforced PBT. It is perfect for demanding applications exposed to high mechanical loads and stress.
Tensile Strength: ≥ 160 MPa
Flexural Strength: ≥ 270 MPa
Impact Strength: ≥ 6.0 kJ/m²
The 30% carbon fiber content greatly enhances both stiffness and strength, making PBT CF30 ideal for high performance applications requiring superior mechanical properties.
Thermal and Chemical Resistance
PBT-CF30 maintains the excellent thermal and chemical resistance of pure PBT, with minimal degradation despite the high carbon fiber content. It performs reliably in elevated temperatures and various chemical environments.
Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): Approx. 260°C
Long-Term Service Temperature: Up to 260°C
Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to oils, fuels, solvents, and common chemicals
PBT-CF30 is highly reliable for use in environments requiring high thermal and chemical stability.
Wear Resistance and Processing
With 30% carbon fiber reinforcement, PBT-CF30 offers outstanding wear resistance, making it suitable for applications with high friction and abrasion. It remains highly processable using standard thermoplastic processing methods.
Wear Resistance: Excellent under high friction and stress
Processing Methods: Suitable for injection molding and extrusion
PBT-CF30 provides a strong balance of durability, wear resistance, and processability, making it ideal for demanding industrial applications.
