Celazole PBI, Plastic Component Materials
CELAZOLE: PBI
(Polybenzimidazole) maintains the highest mechanical properties of any
plastic above 400 F (204 C). Celazole picks-up where other plastics leave-off.
500 F (260 C) to 750 F (399 C) is Celazole territory, with the ability
to survive short-term exposure to 1400 F (760 C).
Celazole has the lowest
coefficient of thermal expansion and the highest compressive strength
of any unfilled plastic. Celazole (PBI) is very "clean" in terms
of ionic impurities and does not out-gas (except water).
Celazole is a
very specialized material for very specialized applications, it is commonly
used in the aerospace, semiconductor, and chemical processing industries.
