Product Description
Vexel 3100 is a general purpose polybutylene terephthalate polyester material. Vexel products have exceptional electrical properties, are quite strong, and are especially stiff, but are typically more brittle than similar nylon products. Vexel PBT is typically used for electrical components, especially with higher voltage requirements, for high heat housings and brackets, and for other functional components where the moisture absorption of nylon may be problematic.
