Description
PBI (Polybenzimidazole) is a synthetic fiber characterized by exceptional thermal and chemical stability.
By itself, PBI can operate at continuous temperatures up to 1,004°F (540°C). As a resin incorporated into plastics, PBI features high heat and chemical resistance and good fatigue resistance, compressive strength, wear resistance and electrical insulation.
PBI works well in high strength situations or where consistent dielectric properties are required and design considerations are required to avoid sharp corners due to the material’s sensitivity.
