VALOX™ SHF4340 PBT 20% Glass Reinforced Resin. Short Production Cycle

Super High Flow Series for Thin Walls, Best for Connector Applications

VALOX™ SHF4340 Resin is an Advanced 20% Glass Fiber Reinforced PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) Resin developed for manufacturers requiring Exceptional Flowability, High Mechanical Strength, and efficient Thin-Wall Molding Performance. As Part of the VALOX™ Super High Flow (SHF) family, this Grade is optimized to support the Production of Compact Electrical components where Precision, Productivity, and Structural Integrity are Critical.

The material features a 20% Glass Fiber Reinforcement System, which enhances Stiffness, Strength, and Dimensional Stability while maintaining excellent Moldability. This balance allows Engineers to Design Lightweight, Thin-Wall components without Sacrificing Mechanical Performance, making the Grade Ideal for Miniaturized Electrical applications.

One of the Major Advantages of VALOX™ SHF4340 is its Super High Flow Capability. The formulation is engineered to Fill Intricate Mold Geometries and Long Flow Paths Efficiently, helping manufacturers produce Complex Parts with greater Consistency. The improved Flow behavior also supports Lower Processing Pressures and enhanced Molding Efficiency, particularly in High-Cavity Production Environments.

In addition to its excellent Processability, VALOX™ SHF4340 Resin enables Short Production Cycles, helping manufacturers Increase Throughput while maintaining Part Quality. This combination of Fast Processing and Reinforced Mechanical performance makes the material especially attractive for High-Volume Electrical and Electronic Component Manufacturing.

Connector applications often require Materials that can achieve demanding Dimensional Tolerances while providing Adequate Structural Strength. VALOX™ SHF4340 addresses these requirements through its unique Blend of Glass Reinforcement and Super High Flow Performance, allowing Designers to optimize both Component Design and Manufacturing Efficiency.

RoHS Compliance: VALOX™ SHF4340 Resin supports RoHS Requirements, helping manufacturers meet Environmental Objectives while maintaining excellent Engineering performance and Reliability.
