PBT – Polybutyleneterephthalate PBT GF 20

PRECITE® P3 GF 20 black (8340)

PRECITE® P3 GF 20 black (8340) is a 20 % glass fibre reinforced, medium viscosity polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) with high stiffness and strength. Due to its low moisture absorption, this material has very good dimensional stability. It is particularly suitable for precision parts in the automotive or E&E industry.

Processing information

The listed values are recommendations. Higher values should be used for higher glass loadings. We recommend only de-humidifying or vacuum dryers. Extensive drying can cause filling problems and surface defects.

Drying temperature (τ ≤ -30°C) 100 - 120°C
Processing moisture 0,02 - 0,04%
1 Feed section 60 - 80°C
2 Temperature zone 1 - Zone 4 250 - 275°C
3 Nozzle temperature 250 - 280°C
4 Melt temperature 260 - 275°C
5 Mold temperature 80 - 100°C
P Nach Holding pressure, spec. 300 - 800 bar
P Stau Back pressure, spec. 30 - 100 bar
Injection speed medium to high
Screw speed 8 - 15 m/min

Warning

Due to hydrolysis sensitivity of polyesters, a careful drying of the material before processing is very important. High residual moisture contents causes, in addition to surface defects, a decomposition of the molecular chains and thus reduced mechanical properties. If there are longer interruptions of the process, the cylinder temperature should be lowered. Furthermore, we recommend a thorough cleaning of the screw cylinder with extended dwell time or a material change. Glass-fiber-reinforced polyolefins (PE, PP) have established a particularly good cleaning effect.
