PBT/PET Compound PBT-PET- GF 30
PRECITE® K GF 30 4 ECO black (8699)PRECITE® K GF 30 4 ECO black (8699) is a 30% glass fibre reinforced, hydrolysis stabilised PBT/PET blend with high strength. Due to its low moisture absorption, this material is particularly suitable for precision parts in the automotive, E&E or appliances industries. The formulations of the sustainable ECO products are partly based on regenerated post-consumer feedstock and thus contribute to reducing the consumption of valuable raw materials.

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.

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.
