VALOX™ DR51 PBT 15% Glass Reinforced Resin for General Applications

Reliable, Versatile and easy to work With, VALOX™ DR51 is a 15% Glass-Reinforced PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) Resin Built for General Engineering applications that demand consistent Quality. The 15% Glass Loading has Been chosen Deliberately — it Lifts Strength and Rigidity to a Genuinely useful Level while Keeping the material Well-Mannered on the Moulding Floor, so You Gain performance without Inheriting the Headaches that Heavier Reinforcement can Bring.

Dimensional Stability Sits at the Heart of this Grade. Many Glass-Filled Thermoplastics have a Habit of Warping as They Cool, which Frustrates Designers working to Fine Tolerances. DR51 Was formulated specifically to counter that, and its good Low-Warpage behaviour helps Parts Hold their Intended Shape. For Flat Panels, Covers, Frames and Housings, that Means Cleaner Assembly, Fewer Rejects and greater confidence in the finished Component.

On the Mechanical Side, DR51 brings a Well-Rounded Set of properties to the Table. Good Tensile and Flexural Strength, Dependable Stiffness and Sound Load-Bearing Capacity make it a practical Fit for Everything from Industrial Fittings to Consumer and Electrical Parts. It is the Kind of Workhorse material Engineers Reach for when they need proven results rather than Experimental Extremes.

Thermal capability adds further Value. PBT Naturally Performs well at Elevated Temperatures, and DR51 Keeps its properties stable across the Operating Ranges Most applications Encounter. Pair that with the Resin's Inherent Resistance to Oils, Fuels, Greases and Many Aggressive Chemicals, and You have a material Equipped to Survive Real-World Environments where Lesser Plastics Would Soften, Swell or Degrade.

For Flammability, DR51 Carries a UL94-HB Rating across a Wall-Thickness range of 0.70 mm to 6.00 mm. This gives Specifiers a Clear, Recognised Benchmark to Design against and confirms the Grade's suitability for the Broad Spectrum of applications where an HB Classification meets the Requirement.

Just as Importantly, DR51 is Straightforward to Process. It Flows and Fills Predictably, Releases Cleanly from Tooling and — Thanks to its Low-Warpage Nature — Needs Less Trial-And-Error to Dial In. The Payoff is Repeatable Output across Long Production Runs, which Keeps Scrap Down and helps manufacturers protect both Quality and Margin.

Finally, Responsible material selection is No Longer Optional, and VALOX™ DR51 is Fully RoHS Compliant. Opting for a RoHS-Compliant Resin is far more than a Regulatory Formality — it is a Conscious Choice to Keep Hazardous Substances out of the Products We Build and the Surroundings We all Depend On. By Limiting Harmful Materials, manufacturers protect the Health of Workers and End-Users while reducing the Environmental Burden Left Behind. That Sense of Responsibility Ripples Outward, helping to preserve a Cleaner, safer World for the Generations who Will Inherit It. In Choosing DR51, You align Solid Engineering with Genuine Environmental Care.
