VALOX™ FR RESINS

DESCRIPTION
The VALOX family of thermoplastic polyester resins are semi-crystalline materials based on polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and/or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polymers. VALOX resin formulations include many performance-matched grades designed to provide application-specific property profiles. VALOX resins combine heat and chemical resistance, as well as outstanding electrical properties with exceptionally good processability and surface appearance.

BENEFITS:

Tailorable Properties: High mechanical, thermal and electrical properties combined with excellent chemical resistance and dimensional stability
Excellent Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to a variety of chemicals, including hydrocarbons, dilute acids and bases, detergents, and most aqueous salt solutions
Versatility and Regulatory Compliance: Available in a broad range of both filled and unfilled grades, with specified UL and other agency compliance ratings. Healthcare grades meet food contact and medical regulatory specifications.
Flame Retardancy: Flame retardant grades offer a UL94 5VA rating and a glow wire test (GWT) pass at 960 °C
Good Temperature Performance: Relative temperature index (RTI) up to 284 °F (140 °C), yet provide good low temperature performance to -40°F (-40°C)
Very Good Processability: High flow in thin sections, offering excellent surface finish
