PBI Performance Products Celazole® PBI U-60 Unfilled Polybenzimidazole Resin
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polybenzimidazole (PBI)

Material Notes: Celazole® U-60 is an unfilled PBI polymer suitable for compression molding. U-60 is commonly molded and machined into precision parts for industrial, chemical and petrochemical industries; aerospace; glass making; and liquid crystal display (LCD) panel manufacture.

U-60 grade Celazole® polybenzimidazole (PBI) resin is a unique organic polymer which does not burn in air and has extraordinary high temperature resistance, along with excellent stability tochemicals and hydrolysis.

Features include:

  • Highest compressive strength of any unfilled resin
  • Excellent tensile and flexural strength
  • Good fatigue properties
  • Excellent hardness
  • Low coefficient of friction
  • Outstanding Tg and heat deflection temperature
  • Relatively low coefficient of thermal expansion
  • High volume resistivity
  • Very good plasma resistance
