PolyButylene Terephthalate (PBT)

Polybutylene terephthalate or PBT is an engineering thermoplastic polymer that is widely used in various industries due to its good mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties.

PBT is produced by polycondensation of terephthalic acid or dimethyl terephthalate with 1,4-butanediol using specific catalysts. The linear, semi-crystalline structure of PBT gives it good mechanical properties, thermal resistance, and chemical stability.
