Ultradur® B 4300 G6
PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate)
Product Description
Ultradur B 4300 G6 is an easy flowing injection molding PBT with 30% glass fiber reinforcement for
rigid, tough, and dimensionally stable parts.
Applications
Typical applications include windshield wiper arms, printed circuit boards, housings, consoles,
contact carriers, and covers.
Processing Guidelines
Material Handling
Max. Water content: 0.04%
To ensure optimum part performance, this product must be dried prior to molding and maintained at
a moisture level of less than 0.04%. Dehumidifying or desiccant dryers operating at 100-120 degC
(212-248 degF) for 4 hours drying time are recommended. Further information concerning safe
handling procedures can be obtained from the Safety Data Sheet. Alternatively, please contact your
BASF representative.
Typical Profile
Melt Temperature 250-270 degC (482-518 degF)
Mold Temperature 60-100 degC (140-212 degF)
Injection and Packing Pressure 35-125 bar (500-1500 psi)
Mold Temperatures
This product can be processed over mold temperatures of 60-100 degC (140-212 degF); however,
for optimizing surface appearance, dimensional stability and part performance, mold surface
temperatures of at least 80 degC (176 degF) are preferred.
Pressures
Injection pressure controls the filling of the part and should be applied for 90% of ram travel.
Packing pressure affects the final part and can be used effectively in controlling sink marks and
shrinkage. It should be applied and maintained until the gate area is completely frozen off.
Back pressure can be utilized to provide uniform melt consistency and reduce trapped air and gas.
A maximum of 10 bar (145 psi) is recommended due to the risk of excessive shear.
Fill Rate
Fast fill rates are recommended to ensure uniform melt delivery to the cavity and prevent premature
freezing. Surface appearance is directly affected by injection rate.
