Gives low shrinkage and low adhesion, high abrasion resistance, high stiffness and high processing speed. Gives low shrinkage and low adhesion, high flame performance, high abrasion resistance, high stiffness and high processing speed. Bonded formulations can improve cut-through and abrasion resistance plus mechanical toughness

PA 6,6 Lower water absorption Better dimensional stability Slightly higher rigidity/stiffness (for PBT) Better abrasion resistance Slightly better electric resistance DRAWBACKS VS. PA 6,6 Reduced rigidity/stiffness Much lower abrasion resistance Lower electric resistance Reduced short- and long-term temperature resistance PC/PBT & PC/PET BLENDS | POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS: Automotive Interiors, Consumer Goods, Household Appliances BENEFITS VS.
