General Info
SUSTADUR thermoplastic polyester products are semi-crystalline materials that offer good wear resistance along with a combination of excellent thermal stability and chemical resistance. SUSTADUR PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) offers similar mechanical properties to acetal, however a higher maximum continuous operating temperature and improved chemical resistance makes it an excellent choice in food processing applications that require chemical or steam sanitizing.
Key Properties
- Continuous Use Temperature Of 230/F
- Higher Impact Strength Than PET
Limitations
- Slightly Lower Strength and Rigidity Than PET
- Chemical Attack by Strong Bases
Applications
- Bushings and Bearings
- Manifolds
- Food Processing Components
