PBF vs. PBT: Comparative Advantages

PBF vs. PBT: Comparative Advantages
  • Clean, Efficient Polyester Bonding

    PBF features a lower Tg and faster crystallization than PBT, enabling easier processing. Its low melting point (~170 °C) allows clean, contamination-free bonding with other polyester materials.


  • Mechanical properties

    PBF combines excellent toughness and strength, with rigidity superior to PBT and some properties approaching or surpassing PET. It also delivers higher modulus and fatigue resistance.


  • High gas barrier

    The oxygen-containing furan ring structure endows PBF with excellent gas barrier properties, making it a preferred material for high-performance packaging applications.


  • Sustainability

    PBF is derived from renewable biomass, offering a low carbon footprint and reducing dependence on fossil resources compared with PBT.
