Mechanical Properties
PBT-CF10 is engineered to offer enhanced mechanical performance with increased stiffness and strength compared to unreinforced PBT, making it ideal for applications under moderate to high mechanical loads.
Tensile Strength: ≥ 90 MPa
Flexural Strength: ≥ 150 MPa
Impact Strength: ≥ 4.0 kJ/m²
With 10% carbon fiber reinforcement, PBT-CF10 significantly improves stiffness and strength, making it suitable for applications requiring higher mechanical performance.
Thermal and Chemical Resistance
PBT-CF10 maintains the excellent thermal and chemical resistance properties of pure PBT, with minimal degradation despite the carbon fiber reinforcement. It continues to perform reliably in environments with moderately high temperatures and exposure to various chemicals.
Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): Approx. 220°C
Long-Term Service Temperature: Up to 220°C
Chemical Resistance: Good resistance to oils, fuels, solvents, and other common chemicals.
PBT-CF10 offers dependable performance in environments requiring moderate to high thermal and chemical stability.
Wear Resistance and Processing
The 10% carbon fiber content enhances the wear resistance of PBT-CF10, making it suitable for applications that experience moderate to high friction and abrasion. It remains highly processable through standard thermoplastic methods despite the increased fiber content.
Wear Resistance: Good under moderate to high friction and stress.
Processing Methods: Suitable for injection molding and extrusion.
PBT-CF10 strikes a balance between durability, wear resistance, and processability, making it ideal for demanding industrial applications.
Environmental Adaptability
PBT-CF10 demonstrates low moisture absorption and excellent dimensional stability, even in varying environmental conditions.
Water Absorption: Low
Dimensional Stability: Excellent, even under moderate temperature and humidity fluctuations.
This ensures reliable performance in environments with fluctuating temperatures and humidity.
Applications
PBT-CF10 is designed for applications that require increased mechanical strength, wear resistance, and chemical resistance. Typical applications include:
