PBT GF15% refers to PBT compounded with 15% glass fibers (GF), offering a range of enhanced features suitable for various applications:
1. **Improved Mechanical Strength:** The addition of 15% glass fibers significantly enhances the tensile strength, stiffness, and impact resistance of PBT GF15% compared to unfilled PBT. This makes it ideal for structural components in automotive, electrical, and mechanical engineering.
2. **Dimensional Stability:** PBT GF15% exhibits reduced shrinkage and excellent dimensional stability, maintaining tight tolerances and shape integrity even under varying temperatures and environmental conditions.
3. **Enhanced Creep Resistance:** The presence of glass fibers minimizes creep under sustained load, ensuring long-term performance and reliability in applications requiring durability and stability.
4. **Good Chemical Resistance:** PBT GF15% retains PBT's inherent resistance to chemicals, oils, and solvents, making it suitable for use in harsh industrial environments where exposure to chemicals is common.
5. **Electrical Properties:** It maintains good electrical insulation properties, making PBT GF15% suitable for electrical and electronic applications where reliable electrical performance is crucial.
These features make PBT GF15% a preferred choice for a wide range of applications such as automotive components, electrical connectors, housings for electrical devices, and structural parts where a balance of strength, dimensional stability, and chemical resistance is required.
