PBT compounds
OSABATE
Where versatility meets unequalled strength.
PBT
OSABATE is made from polybutylene terephthalate, a semi-crystalline polyester. It is strong and rigid, resists thermal deformation and keeps its dimensions, with improved impact at low temperature. Flame-retardant versions suit connectors and electrical parts.
