Cheaper route to CBT scheduled for Cyclics' next plant

摘要

THE NEW way of making CBT using cheaper feedstocks being developed by Cyclics Corporation (British Plastics & Rubber,January 2005 p22) has now reached patent stage.CBT-cyclic butadiene tereph-thalate-is an extremely low viscosity material which is polymerised during processing to make PBT.Its water-like viscosity makes it particularly applicable in processes such as rotational moulding and the infusion of reinforcement matrices in composites.
