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

Regulatory Information
