Description

VALOX 553 is a 30% glass filled flame retardant Polybutylene Terephthalate/Polycarbonate (PBT/PC) injection moldable grade. It has excellent chemical resistance and a UL94V0@0.86mm and 5VA@2.3mm flame rating. This is a good candidate for applications needing reduced shrinkage/warpage including appliance handles, spotlights, electric motors, and pump housings

This material data has been provided by Matmatch.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
