PBI (Polybenzimidazole)

 

PBI polymer is an ultra high performance plastic developed in cooperated with NASA: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and AFML: Air Force Materials Laboratory.

PBI shows extraordinary thermal properties:

  • Heat deflection temperature (HDT):   410°C
  • Glass transition temperature (Tg):      420°C

PBI Performance Products is a raw material supplier and PBI Advanced Materials manufactures and sells PBI materials under the license of PBI Performance Products.
