VESTODUR CL3230 is a 30% mineral-filled, self-extinguishing compound for injection molding, based on modified polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Moldings of VESTODUR CL3230 can be crosslinked by high-energy radiation. The influence of the radiation to the mechanical properties is negligible. The short-term heat resistance is increased up to 350°C depending on the conditions. Crosslinked parts of VESTODUR CL3230 can be used in common soldering processes like surge soldering, vapor phase soldering and IR soldering which are typical in the electronic industry. VESTODUR CL3230 is suitable for use of lead-free plump. The incorporated flame retardant is non-migrating and has no corrosive effects on metal inserts or neighboring metal parts. Laser marking with high contrast is possible. The compound contains a special additive, which can be activated by a LPKF laser system. The activated areas can be plated selectively.
