nantong xingchen synthetic materials co., ltd., the production and r&d base for engineering plastics under china national bluestar (group) co., ltd., recently launched a new base resin product, low-volatility pbt, under the trade name of starestertm xtremvoc. in addition to the excellent physical and mechanical performance and appearance of pbt, the product also boasts a low content of organic volatiles, and excellent thermo stability.
as the domestic automotive industry develops fast over the past years, end users place more and more emphasis on a safe, comfortable, and environment-friendly riding environment. thus, voc content has become a major concern of consumers. voc content refers to the content of organic gases like benzene and methylbenzene in normal pressure conditions. when the density reaches a certain level, these gases will cause severe damage to human bodies. bluestar’s low-volatility pbt base resin boasts world-leading quality according to test results which show an excellent thermo stability and extremely low voc content. by effectively controlling the generation and separation of harmful volatiles, it helps improve the air quality in cars when used as car components and interior trim materials, offering a healthy and comfortable riding environment for consumers.
in the field of automotive lighting, spray-free pbt products are gradually replacing mineral-filled modified pbt/pet products for headlight bezels. since it has a better appearance and emits less gas, spray-free pbt products make spraying and painting unnecessary before the aluminum coating process, saving costs and improving efficiency for downstream customers. according to a comprehensive evaluation made by world-leading car light manufacturers, the car light bezels made of bluestar low-volatility pbt base resin show an industry-leading comprehensive performance. the product has now been put into mass production and delivered to world-renowned manufacturers of modified engineering plastics, which marked its official entry into overseas markets for automotive applications.
