High Quality Flame Retardant PBT Resin

High-Performance 20% Glass Fiber Reinforced PBT Resin with V0 Flame Retardancy for Automotive Applications

Engineered for the most rigorous automotive environments, this advanced thermoplastic compound combines the durability of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) with the structural reinforcement of 20% glass fiber. Designed to meet international safety and performance standards, it delivers exceptional flame resistance—rated V0 per UL94—as well as superior mechanical strength and thermal stability. Ideal for under-hood, interior, and electrical components, this material ensures long-term reliability in demanding vehicular conditions.

Key Features:

• 20% Glass Fiber-Reinforced PBT for Enhanced Structural Integrity
• V0 Flame Retardant Certification for Safety Compliance
• High Tensile Strength and Impact Resistance
• Excellent Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) for High-Temperature Performance
• Dimensional Stability Under Thermal Cycling and Mechanical Stress

This engineered polymer is specifically developed to address the evolving needs of modern vehicle manufacturing. Its formulation supports lightweight design goals while maintaining robustness, making it a preferred choice among OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers globally. The inclusion of glass fibers significantly improves stiffness, reduces warpage, and enhances fatigue resistance—critical traits for components exposed to vibration, temperature fluctuations, and chemical exposure. With a balanced blend of processability and end-use performance, this material supports efficient molding operations without compromising on quality or consistency.

Applications span across various automotive subsystems including engine covers, sensor housings, battery enclosures, connector bodies, and interior trim parts. It performs reliably in both electric vehicles (EVs) and internal combustion engine (ICE) platforms due to its compatibility with standard injection molding techniques and excellent electrical insulation properties. Whether used in high-volume production or specialized niche applications, this reinforced PBT resin offers consistent results across diverse global markets.

Users consistently report improved part lifespan, reduced defect rates, and enhanced manufacturability when switching to this material. Many appreciate how its inherent flame retardancy simplifies compliance with regional regulations such as those from the European Union’s REACH or North America’s FMVSS standards. The material's ability to withstand repeated thermal cycles makes it especially suitable for components near heat sources like exhaust systems or power electronics.
