1 Ultradur (PBT) Product Range Ultradur in the web:

2 Ultradur Ultradur is BASF s trade name for its line of partially crystalline saturated polyesters. This line is based on polybutylene terephthalate and is employed in applications demanding a high performance level such as load bearing parts in different industrial sectors. Ultradur is outstanding for its high rigidity and strength, very good dimensional stability, low water absorption and high resistance to many chemicals. Moreover, Ultradur exhibits exceptional resistance to weathering and excellent heat aging behavior.

18 Nomenclature Steering angle sensor Ultradur commercial grades are designated by either the letter B or S, followed by a four-digit number. Ultradur B = PBT or PBT + PET Ultradur S = PBT + ASA The letter behind the number denotes reinforcement or filler materials: G = glass fibers K = glass beads M = minerals The number after this denotes the approximate amount of additive, e. g.: 2 = 10 parts by weight 4 = 20 parts by weight 6 = 30 parts by weight 10 = 50 parts by weight Suffices show particular properties: FC = suitable for applications with food contact in accordance with a special certification High Speed = particularly high flowability HR = higher hydrolysis resistance LS = can be marked with specific lasers LT = can be radiographed with specific lasers Colors are identified by the code for the grade in question, followed by the name of the color and a three- to five digit color number. Examples: Ultradur B 4500 nature Ultradur B 4520 black 110 Ultradur B 4040 G10 High Speed black Ultradur B 4300 G4 black 5110 Ultradur B 4300 G6 uncolored Ultradur S 4090 G4 LS High Speed black
