Duratron CU60 PBI

Product catalog summary
Overview: Duratron CU60 PBI Polybenzimidazole is a high-performance engineering plastic from Mitsubishi Chemical Group, known for its superior mechanical properties, heat resistance, and ability to retain these properties at temperatures over 400°F (205°C). It is particularly suitable for semiconductor manufacturing and high-heat applications such as bushings, connectors, valve seats, and probe tip lenses.
Thermal Properties: The material has a glass transition temperature of 415°C (775°F) and a heat deflection temperature of 425°C (800°F) at 1.8 MPa. It can continuously operate at 310°C (600°F) for 20,000 hours. The coefficient of linear thermal expansion varies with temperature, and its thermal conductivity at 23°C is 0.4 W/(K.m).
Mechanical Properties: Duratron CU60 PBI exhibits a tensile strength of 130 MPa (16,000 PSI) and a tensile modulus of elasticity of 6000 MPa (850 KSI). It has a compressive strength of 50,000 PSI and a flexural strength of 160 MPa (32,000 PSI). The material's impact strength is 20 kJ/m² unnotched and 2.5 kJ/m² notched.
Electrical Properties: The material has an electric strength of 28 kV/mm and a volume resistivity of 10^13 Ohm.cm. Its dielectric constant at 1 MHz is 3.2, with a dissipation factor of 0.003.
Miscellaneous: Duratron CU60 PBI is black in color with a density of 1.3 g/cm³. It has a water absorption rate of 0.74% after 24 hours and 14% at saturation. The material's wear rate is 3 µm/km, and it has a dynamic coefficient of friction between 0.3 and 0.5.
Limitations and Recommendations: The data provided are indicative and should not be used as material specification limits. The material's performance depends on specific application conditions, and it is the customer's responsibility to test and assess its suitability for their intended use.

Duratron CU60 PBI-1

MITSUBISHI CHEMICAL GROUP PRODUCT DATASHEET Duratron® CU60 PBI Polybenzimidazole is the highest performing engineering plastic available from Mitsubishi Chemical Group due to its superior mechanical properties, heat resistance, and mechanical property retention over 400°F / 205°C. It has better wear resistance and load carrying capabilities at extreme temperatures than any other reinforced or unreinforced advanced engineering plastic. This makes this material highly attractive to semiconductor manufacturers for vacuum chamber applications. In addition, Duratron® PBI is ideal for high heat bushings, connectors, valve seats, and probe tip lenses.

Notes, see datasheet on page 1 1. The figures given for these properties are for the most part derived from raw material supplier data and other publications. 2. Values for this property are only given here for amorphous materials and for materials that do not show a melting temperature (PBI & PI). 3. Temperature resistance over a period of min. 20,000 hours. After this period of time, there is a decrease in tensile strength – measured at 23 °C – of about 50 % as compared with the original value. The temperature value given here is thus based on the thermal-oxidative degradation which takes place...
