Key Properties of PC/PBT Resin

High Impact Strength

PC/PBT resin combines the robust impact resistance of polycarbonate with the toughness of PBT. This results in a material that can withstand significant physical stress and impact without cracking or breaking, making it ideal for applications in automotive parts and consumer electronics that may be subjected to frequent impacts or drops.

Excellent Chemical Resistance

The PBT component of this alloy contributes superior chemical resistance, allowing PC/PBT to maintain its integrity when exposed to various solvents, oils, and chemicals. It makes it suitable for use in automotive under-the-hood applications, industrial equipment, and household appliances where exposure to harsh chemicals is common.

Good Dimensional Stability

PC/PBT exhibits minimal warping or shrinkage under varying temperature and humidity conditions. This stability ensures that parts maintain their shape and fit over time, which is crucial for applications requiring precise tolerances, such as electrical connectors and automotive components.

Heat Resistance

The blend of PC and PBT results in a material with good heat resistance, typically able to withstand continuous use temperatures of 120-140°C. This makes PC/PBT suitable for applications near heat sources or in high-temperature environments, such as automotive lighting assemblies or electrical housings.

Low Moisture Absorption

PC/PBT absorbs very little moisture from its surroundings, which helps maintain its mechanical properties and dimensional stability even in humid environments. This characteristic is particularly beneficial for outdoor applications or in moisture-rich settings where other plastics might degrade or lose strength.

Flame Retardant Capabilities (with additives)

While not inherently flame retardant, PC/PBT can be formulated with additives to meet various fire safety standards. It is an enhanced fire resistance. The ability to add flame retardant properties without significantly compromising other mechanical properties is a significant advantage of PC/PBT.

Applications of PC/PBT Plastic Alloy

Automotive (interior and exterior components)

Electronics (connectors, housings)

Electrical appliances

Industrial equipment

Consumer goods

Medical devices
