 Introduction
PBT (Polybutylene terephthalate) is an engineering plastics series
manufactured by NAN YA PLASTICS. Through the polymerization of
1.4-Butylene glycol (1.4-BG) with Pure Terephthalic Acid (PTA) or Dimethyl
Terephthalate (DMT), the process utilizes a mix of hybrid processes to
manufacture PBT with excellent mechanical properties, high rigidity,
dimensional stability, heat aging resistance and chemical properties. Due
to the ease of processing and coloring, abrasion resistance and electrical
properties, PBT applications in the information, electrical, electronics and
automobile industries have increased rapidly. NAN YA PBT Engineering Plastic
can provide products with the aforementioned properties at any grade such as
ordinary grade, reinforced grade, heat resistant grade and special grade.
