Angst+Pfister APSOplast® PBI High-performance plastic
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polybenzimidazole (PBI)
Material Notes:	It offers the highest temperature resistance and best retention of mechanical properties of all non-reinforced high-performance plastics. PBI is ionically very pure and does not degas (dry material). Thanks to its unique combination of properties, PBI can offer a solution where other plastics fail. This material is in high demand in the high-tech industry such as the semi-conductor, aeronautics, and astronautics industries. In these areas, PBI is primarily used for critical, complex components in order to reduce maintenance costs and win valuable operating time during production. Information provided by Angst + Pfister
