    M.S.A. Mobashwer Hossen
    Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic that is produced through the polycondensation of terephthalic acid or dimethyl terephthalate with 1,4–butanediol using catalysts. PBT has unique recovery properties that allow clothing made from it to always return to its original shape even after extreme strain. It has good mechanical properties, thermal stability, chemical resistance, and electrical insulation. Common applications of PBT include parts for electronics, automotive components, air bag covers, and fuse holders due to its desirable material properties.

    Introductio
    n abbrevated PBT, belongs to
    Polybutylene terephtalate the
    Polyster family. It is mainly used because of it's elasticity.
    PBT was first introduced commercially in 1969 by Celanese. It was developed by
    Britain's imperial chemical industries (ICI). It is a Thermoplastic (semi) crystalline
    polymer. It has unique recovery Properties,this fabric will always return to their
    original shape even often extreme strain.This ensure comfortable, body hugging,
    clothing that it is to wear for sports activities.
    Manufacturing
    process
    Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) is a semi-crystalline engineering
    thermoplastic material. PBT is produced by polycondensation of
    terephthalic acid or dimethyl terephthalate with 1,4–butanediol using
    special catalysts.
    Manufacturing
    process
    The process of producing polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) from
    butanediol (BDO) and terephthalic acid (TPA), in which a mixture
    of BDO and TPA is subjected to an esterification in the presence of
    a catalyst solution containing alkyl titanate at temperatures in the
    range from 130 to 260° C. and the product of the esterification is
    subjected to a polycondensation.
    Properties :
    Water Absorption
    The low moisture absorption ensure consistent mechanical
    performance and dimensional stabiltiy.
    Permeability to Water vapour and Gases
    Permeability resembles that of PET films, i.e. it is good compared to
    other polymers.
    Chemical Properties
    PBT is resistant to water, aqueous solutions (at room temperature), weak acids,
    many organic solvents, oils, fats, brake fluid, carbon tetrachloride.ci It is not
    resistant to strong acids, alkaline solutions, phenol, ethyl acetate, acetone.
    Extended contact with water at 60°C leads to hydrolytic decomposition. PBT is
    not susceptible to stress cracking.
    Mechanical Properties : The material has very good strength, stiffness, hardness
    and maintain toughness at low temperature.
    Thermal Properties: The melting temperature of PBT is 225°C. It has
    excellent
    dimensional stability at variable temperature range.

    Electrolytic Properties : Electrical Properties PBT is a good electrical insulator and this
    is little affected by water absorption. corrosion or contact-impairing deposits are unlikely.
    The dielectric strength is also independent of temperature.
    Applications of PBT in:
     Electrical and electronic
     Automobile applications
     Others
    Applications of PBT Electrical and electronic
    applications:

    Connector, IC Sockets, Terminal blocks, bobbins, push-buttons of


    telephone set, micro switch, TV parts, hair dryer parts, micro motor
    housing, glue gums etc. Automotive plug
    Applications of PBT Automobile
    applications:

    Wiper gear case, outer handle, distributor, coupler, Ignition system


    parts, bumper, valve of exhaust, gas treating system etc. Application
    of PBT in various areas
    Applications of PBT Air bag cover Fuse holder Car seat frame
