Product Description
Our new TechnoDur PBT compound is a thermoplastic which combines great hardness, stiffness and strength. The compound is easily processed due to its perfect flow behaviour. The favourable sliding and wear characteristics as well as extremely high tenacity in temperatures below freezing are further advantages. TechnoDur is manufactured by poly-condensing terephthalic acid or dimethyl terephthalate containing butandiol-1,4 using special catalysts.
