PLASTICFIBRE COMPANY ANNOUNCES THE SECOND GENERATION OF PBT
As the result of painstaking research efforts involving every aspect of
production, the Plasticfibre company is proud to introduce the second
generation of PBT.
This superior fiber boasts considerably
improved performance characteristics compared with those of the
traditional versions and so it is better suited for all the various
applications in which these polymers are demonstrating themselves to be
ever more effective and successful.
It should be remembered that the properties displayed by PBT
make it comparable or even superior to PA, whose popularity has been
reinforced by the fact that there have been few alternatives, creating a
sort of tradition over the many years of regular use. PBT, however, is
proving itself to be an extremely viable new option. Indeed, it is
suitable for all the applications typically associated with PA, in
particular, industrial brushes, food-industry brushes and tooth brushes.
ECOCLEAN (this is the Plasticfibre name for
PBT) is not hygroscopic. Its low water absorption rate makes it
invulnerable to bacteria and allows it remain rigid even when wet. This
is why this fiber is so perfectly suited for toothbrushes and all sorts
of brushes that have to be used under wet conditions.
ECOCLEAN has a very high heat tolerance.
Designed to withstand immersion into boiling water without suffering any
shrinkage and to withstand hot air up to 130°, this product is perfectly
suited for hair brushes and steam-cleaning brushes. In regard to the
latter application, its excellent elastic memory enables it to withstand
the excessive pressure that is sometimes exerted on brushes employed for
this purpose.
ECOCLEAN has been “hyper-stabilized”. A
pioneering new stabilization method improves its heat resistance while
at the same time improving its elastic memory and linear stability.
Already outstanding in the case of first-generation PBT, these
characteristics have been emphasized and greatly improved in the
improved version, as has been the extraordinary resistance to abrasion.
Industrial brush manufacturers will be very pleasantly
surprised.
ECOCLEAN is made from primary materials and
coloring agents that have been certified and approved by the American
FDA. It is also in compliance with HACCP regulations for substances that
come into contact with foodstuffs.
The field of application for this remarkable product is vast,
ranging from brushes for the food industry to products for cleaning
environments where it is essential to maintain extremely high levels of
hygiene.
