Sep 17, 2008 Through use of flame-retardant technology, Valox iQ polybutylene terephthalate resins meet requirements for halogen-free parts. They are derived in part from post-consumer plastic waste including PET water bottles, and have been validated for use in computer components such as internal cooling fans, heat sink shrouds, and external bezel covers. Non-halogenated and flame-retardant, Flexible Noryl can replace PVC in applications such as power cords, SATA cables, and DC cables.

Nov 03, 2004 CBT® 100 and CBT® 200 melt to water-like viscosity when heated, then polymerize into engineering thermoplastic PBT when catalyzed. CBT 100 features processing temperature between 190-240°C, while CBT 200 ranges from 170-240°C. Available in 1- and 2-part systems, both provide natural high-gloss surface, and are not hygroscopic, so dimensional tolerances are maintained. Resins are suited for rotational molding, nanocomposites, compounding, and injection molding.

Sep 25, 2003 Flame-retardant Celanex® 14 Series polybutylene terephthalate resins are non-blooming, so molded parts are essentially free of surface deposits. Celanex 3314, 3214, and 3114 are 30, 15, and 7.5% glass fiber-reinforced, respectively. Celanex 2014 is unfilled, and Celanex 4014 is unfilled and toughened. Resins are suited for connectors, housings, relays, switches, motor end caps, and other electrical and electronic applications.
