LATI LATER 4 G/30-V0 30% Glass Fiber Reinforced Polybutyleneterephthalate (PBT) (UL94 V-0)

Subcategory: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT); Thermoplastic; Polymer

Material Notes:
Description: Later thermoplastics are polybutyleneterephthalate (PBT) products. Later thermoplastic polyesters are suitable for injection molding, and are distinguished by good wear resistance, chemical inertness and low water absorption values. All Later versions can be used for products working in wet environments or in water. Because of its weak resistance to hydrolysis the use of the basic resin in continuous or protracted contact with hot water (higher than 50°C) is not advisable. Glass Reinforced Later grades feature low mold shrinkage with good mechanical properties; their rigidity increases substantially in versions with higher glass fiber contents. Later's with mineral fillers are recommended where no particular high impact resistance is necessary, but rigidity, high dimensional stability, and tight tolerances are required.

Specific Notes for this Material: UL94 V-0 self-extinguishing, with halogens; 30% glass fiber; good flowability; high rigidity.
