More Information
Summary:Major Applications PTT is expected to find industrial applications where PET and PBT are currently dominated such as in the electrical, electronics, automotive, furniture industry. It also has an important application in the textile industry and has been a promising engineering thermoplastic, which that can be spun into both fibers and yarns and has extensive applications in carpeting, textiles and apparel, engineering thermoplastics, nonwovens, films and mono-filament.(1) Properties of Special Interest PTT contains the property highlights of both PET and PBT. It has the physical properties of PET including strength, stiffness, toughness, and heat resistance, along with the good processing properties of PBT, such as low melt and mold temperatures and rapid crystallization, and good injection molding properties. Resilience, elastic recovery, superior dyeing ability.
