KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 17 (Bernama) -- The Polyplastics Group has introduced a new polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) resin, DURANEX(R) 532AR, which delivers excellent alkali stress crack resistance for a range of automotive applications.
The new grade also exhibits outstanding hydrolysis or heat shock resistance and electrical performance for components in the chassis and engine compartment, according to a statement.
As demand for durability, safety and reliability in auto parts continues to increase, the new grade has successfully reduced the risk of cracking in molded articles by preventing alkali from penetrating the inside of the resin, thus imparting toughness that helps generate less stress.
Treated with a hydrolysis-resistant formula, DURANEX(R) 532AR has greater durability than standard materials. Based on recent test evaluations, no stress cracking occurs in the new grade even when immersed in alkali for up to 200 hours.
It is ideal for use in parts installed in the chassis section and lower areas of vehicles which can be splashed with water and mud, as well as come into contact with chemicals such as snow-melting agents, thus offering high reliability and long life even in harsh environments.
The Polyplastics Group is a global leader in the development and production of engineering thermoplastics. For more information, visit https://www.polyplastics.com.
