Easy flow from DSM

DSM Engineering Plastics has developed a new generation of flame retardant and glass fibre reinforced Arnite PBT grades that give a balance between processibility and mechanical properties. The Arnite T grades are DSM's range of thermoplastic polyesters based on polybutylene terephthalate (PBT).

These offer manufacturers of electrical connectors superior moulding characteristics such as good flow properties and faster cycle times, and show lower warpage than conventional PBT grades, says DSM. For example, designers can reduce wall thickness to 0.4mm allowing them to follow
