What's new
Find out about new grades with properties tailored to reduce your moulding cycle time. Crastin® Super Fast resins contain superior flow properties and enable filling of the mould at lower temperatures.
Among the many features of various Crastin® PBT grades are mechanical and physical properties of stiffness and toughness, heat resistance, friction and wear resistance, excellent surface finishes and good colorability. They have excellent electrical insulation characteristics and high arc-resistant grades are available. Processing is simple, with good flow properties leading to short cycle times using standard injection molding machines. Post-molding operations such as welding, fastening and glueing are also easy, as are printing, painting, hot stamping and laser marking.
