WORLD’S HIGHEST PERFORMING

THERMOPLASTIC

The ideal performance polymer for applications in demanding conditions — high temperatures, harsh chemicals, plasma environments and applications where high strength and wear resistance are important.

In temperatures exceeding 400°F, Celazole® PBI has the highest heat resistance, wear resistance, strength and mechanical property retention of any engineered polymer on the planet.

ABOUT CELAZOLE® PBI

PBI Performance Products produces the world’s highest performing engineering thermoplastic – Celazole® Polybenzimidazole (PBI). Parts molded of Celazole® PBI are used in some of the harshest environments – ranging from oil fields to aerospace to semiconductor applications.

CELAZOLE® PBI MARKETS

Celazole® PBI polymers are uniquely suited for metal replacement and exhibit excellent thermal stability. With excellent resistance to high temperatures and chemicals, and best in class wear resistance, parts made with Celazole® PBI work harder and last longer.

2.5x

Parts made with Celazole® U-60 benefit from longer part life cycles with 2.5x the flex strength of polyimide.

Service life

Superior wear resistance allows longer life cycles for parts made with Celazole® PBI.

High heat resistance

With a 427°C glass transition temperature (Tg), parts made with Celazole® PBI polymer can operate in some of the highest temperature environments.

FIXTURES

Customer sees 400% improvement in fixtures produced per spinning wheel with switch to Celazole® PBI.
