PC-PBT (Polycarbonate–PBT Blend) is a high-performance engineering filament designed for applications that demand exceptional toughness, impact resistance, and durability in challenging environments. This advanced polymer blend combines the strength and heat resistance of polycarbonate with the chemical stability and low-temperature toughness of PBT.
Unlike standard PC materials, PC-PBT maintains excellent impact resistance even at low temperatures, remaining tough and reliable down to approximately -30 °C. This makes it ideal for outdoor, automotive, and industrial components exposed to cold climates or mechanical stress.
Why Choose PC-PBT?
- Exceptional impact resistance, even at low temperatures
- High heat resistance and structural stability
- Excellent chemical and environmental resistance
- Reduced brittleness compared to standard polycarbonate
Performance Characteristics
PC-PBT offers a strong balance of rigidity and toughness, delivering reliable mechanical performance in demanding environments. Its resistance to cracking, deformation, and thermal stress makes it suitable for long-term functional parts and outdoor applications.
