Polybutylene Terephthalate PBT
PROPERTIES OF POLYBUTYLENE TEREPHTALATE YARNS
PBT yarns have the following properties:
- is basically a textured polyester with a nylon crimp characteristic
- a high elastic, friction-textured material
- has good stretch properties and unique recovery properties
- is a high-resistant fiber that is both soft and elasticis high resistant to perspiration and humidity
- has both very low humidity take-up levels (only 0.4% approx.) and dries very quickly
- elastic recovery with low subsequent ductility
- good stretching with problem-free working properties
- resistant to chlorine, good base resistance, no loss of fastness through UV rayslight-fastness similar to that of a polyester
