PBT GF30

PET – Polyethylene terephthalate

PBT GF30

PBT GF30 is a polybutylene terephthalate that contains fibreglass and is classed as a PET material. Because of the added glass, the material has great mechanical strength and good dimensional accuracy across a wide temperature range. We deliver PBT GF30 as plastic sheets and rods.
