How to reduce the risk of stress cracks in PBT-overmolded metal parts
Metal and PBT are ideal partners in overmolded metal conductors, such as those found in the powertrains of electric vehicles. However, for engineers frequent and abrupt temperature changes put this “material marriage” to the test. Stress cracks can form, leading to defects in entire assemblies. PBTs with high elongation at break, hydrolysis resistance, and heat resistance from our Pocan® XHR range enable you to minimize this risk. This is demonstrated by the mounting frame for a clutch transmission.
New PBT from Envalior, debuting at K 2025 & the Battery Show North America, sets standard for high-voltage applications
Envalior has introduced Pocan® BFN4232ZHR S1, a halogen-free flame-retardant PBT that combines the strengths of PBT and polyamide 6/66. It offers dimensional stability, low electro-corrosion, and strong electrical insulation at high temperatures, along with hydrolysis resistance, creep resistance, and at break comparable to polyamide.
