General Info
HYDEX® 4101L PBT (Polybutylene terephthalate) Polyester is an internally-lubricated grade for use in higher wear resistance, PV range and lower coefficient of friction applications. It maintains the properties of unfilled HYDEX® 4101. It is FDA complaint and is ideal for machined parts in food processing equipment. HYDEX™ 4101 has excellent resistance to typical cleaning chemicals such as chlorine and caustic solutions and has a very low moisture absorption rate, as much as 15 times less than nylon.
