The new Ultradur® LUX is a polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Researchers at BASF have successfully refined its morphology so that its laser transparency has been improved from 30 to around 60 percent – a high, consistent laser transparency that has not previously been achieved with PBT. Its mechanical properties are comparable to those of standard Ultradur®. With the improved laser transparency it is now possible to achieve much higher welding speeds.Information provided by BASF |
