Thermx® PCT…Takes more heat
Take everything you like about PBT or PET polyesters; then add more resistance to peak temperatures and hydrolysis. The result: DuPont™ Thermx® PCT, the latest in a range of high performance polymers now added to the DuPont portfolio. Attributes and features include:
- High-temperature assembly: Withstands SMT reflow soldering
|
- Hydrolysis resistance: Performs well in USCAR Class 4 tests
|
- High-temperature service: Retains useful strength, toughness with age
|
- Dimensional stability: Negligible moisture effect
|
- Chemical resistance: auto fluids, circuit board cleaning agents and more
|
- Arc tracking resistance: A valuable asset for 42-volt auto electrical applications
