Companies all across the world are constantly looking for new ways to innovate and cut costs. Utilising lighter-weight and more affordable materials and components is one approach to do this. PBT is useful in this situation.
PBT is employed in a number of sectors, including the automobile and electronics industries. PBT components are expected to be used in the majority of high-end engineering applications.
PBT, or polybutylene terephthalate, is a thermoplastic compound with a semi-crystalline structure that is employed in engineering. Its composition and characteristics are comparable to those of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate).
In addition, PBT belongs to the family of polyester polymers. Terephthalic acid is used in a procedure known as polycondensation to create this substance. Additionally, 1,4-butanediol and dimethyl terephthalate can be used to make it. This approach, however, has to be produced using a unique catalyst.
Additionally, the advantages of polybutylene terephthalate contribute to its growing commercial success.
The Global PBT Engineering Plastics Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
Using ocean-bound polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles as a feed stream for chemical upcycling into resin, Sabic has introduced a polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) engineering plastic.
Mismanaged garbage that comes from within 30 miles of the coast and is most likely to end up in the ocean is referred to as “ocean-bound plastic.”
LNP Elcrin WF0061BiQ, the new grade, is the most recent addition to Sabic’s line of chemically upcycled LNP Elcrin iQ materials, which promote circularity and may be used as drop-in replacements for virgin PBT resins.
