Economy Grade PBT Polyester Resins
These are compounded blends of virgin
resin and carefully segregated and tested regrind.
As an excellent choice for cost sensitive applications,
they broaden the range of applications that can
benefit from the superior properties unique to PBT
Polyesters. There is no compromise of such critical
properties as heat resistance, dimensional stability,
rigidity, and strength as well as chemical resistance.
Rigidity is slightly reduced with glass reinforced
grades and quality of surface finish may be reduced.
Careful blending of each lot assures uniformity
of properties and color within each lot. While the
shade of natural color may vary slightly from lot
to lot, minimum physical properties are assured
by individual lot certifications.

we recommend prime resins only be
used. Even though the economy grades
have a reasonably good consistency
from lot to lot, it is often impossible
to provide exact matches due to slight
variations in the natural color of
the base compounds.

NOTE: For all applications
calling for either precolored resin or blending
natural with color concentrate, if it is
necessary to have absolute color consistency
from lot to lot, we recommend that prime
resins only be used. Even though the economy
grades have a reasonably good consistency
in the natural color from lot to lot, the
amount of stabilizers used to match the
natural colors may vary from lot to lot
and these can cause color matches to be
slightly off from lot to lot.
