High Performance and Exceptionally Valuable Celazole Enginee
Celazole PBI (Polybenzimidazole) is an impressively high performing engineering plastic, offering the highest mechanical properties compared to any other unfilled thermoplastic over 400° F. It is an ideal plastic for elevated heat bushings, valve seats, and connectors. This material is very hard and has amazing ultrasonic transparency, making it a superb option for probe tip lenses in ultrasonic measuring equipment and other similar parts.
Also referred to as Duratron PBI, Celazole is an unreinforced material that is exceptionally “clean” when it comes to ionic impurity, and it doesn’t outgas, with the exception of water. It is a superior thermal insulator. While other plastics in melt stick to other materials, this does not happen with polybenzimidazole, as such it makes it ideal for a number of applications.
Examples of applications that Celazole is commonly used for include, but are not necessarily limited to:
- Seals and wear surfaces
- Valve and pump seats
- Handling parts and fixtures for plastics and glass manufacturing
- Replacement for metal for aerospace components
- Structural and wear parts for manufacturing involving Semiconductor and Electronics
High performance engineering machinable shapes, such as Celazole, are perfect design starting points, lessen weight, and expand the length of time before maintenance or replacement is required. This reduces the overall expense though the increase in process uptime, making this innovative plastic exceptionally valuable.
