What actually makes the new Pocan XHR so special?

In many applications, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) needs to be particularly resistant to the degradation caused by hot water, water vapor, and other media. Recently, the requirements have become even stricter. Many OEMs are looking for PBT materials that have achieved the two highest ratings of Class 4 or Class 5 in the long-term test SAE/USCAR2-6 of the US Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).

Lanxess has therefore complemented the hydrolysis-stabilized PBT compounds Pocan® HR (Hydrolysis Resistance) with the new Pocan® product range XHR (Extreme Hydrolysis Resistance). This third generation of Pocan® HR is characterized by an even higher hydrolysis and aging resistance when exposed to media typical for certain applications. It rates excellently in the SAE/USCAR test and shows the same excellent processing characteristics as the second generation of Pocan® HR.
