Ensitep PBT by Ensinger Inc. is a PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) plastic material.
General Information
Product Description

ENSITEP® BT is an unreinforced thermoplastic polyester derived from polybutylene terephthalate. Its excellent wear and impact resistance, low coefficient of friction, high flexural modulus, and superior dimensional stability make it a versatile material for designing mechanical and electro-mechanical parts. Because ENSITEP BT has no centerline porosity, the possibility of fluid absorption and leakage is virtually eliminated.

ENSITEP BT's superior wear and impact resistance and lack of centerline porosity give it an advantage over other materials for applications involving solvents, chemicals, and food products. ENSITEP BT is also used in water purification systems, printing equipment, textile components, food-handling equipment, and valves.
