Abstract

Poly(butylene terephthalate)(PBT) is an important engineering polyester. It crystallizes much more easily and faster than PET. And these crystallization properties determine its use as an injection molding resin. Although it is more extensive than PET, its crystallization can be controlled much more easily during processing. General electric (Schenectady, NY) is the main producer of PBT films. Its production capacity was 3-5million pounds per year in 1987. (omitted)
