Good at room temperature. Attacked by strong and weak acids at elevated temperatures.
Base Resistance
Good at room temperature. Attacked by strong and weak bases at elevated temperatures.
Solvent Resistance Excellent resistance to wide variety of fluids such as gasoline, motor oil, transmission fluid, hydrocarbons, and organic solvents. Some absorption by ketones and
esters causes plasticization and small dimensional changes.

Effect of Foaming
Rynite PET thermoplastic polyester resins can be
foamed with commercial foaming agents to reduce
weight in very thick parts and reduce sinks under
bosses and ribs. The amount of property loss is
directly related to solids reduction and a solids

Thermal Conductivity
Thermal conductivity is a measure of the rate of
heat transfer through a material. When compared to
metals, plastics are good insulators and poor
conductors of heat. As shown in Table 5, the
thermal conductivity of Rynite PET compositions
is constant over a wide range of temperatures.
Thermal conductivity is affected by the amount and
type of fillers used.

Weathering
Introduction
Rynite PET thermoplastic polyester resins rank
high among plastic engineering materials in their
resistance to outdoor weathering. The effect of
weathering on the properties of the Rynite PET
thermoplastic polyester resins has been determined
by various methods, including accelerated carbon
arc X-W Weather-O-Meter exposure, natural
outdoor weathering in Arizona and Florida, and
accelerated outdoor weathering in Arizona. The
results obtained on test bars exposed in these
environments indicate in general that the Rynite
PET thermoplastic polyester resins exhibit good
property retention. Overall performance is improved, especially impact, by the addition of carbon
black (>0.3% by weight) to the resin.

X-W Weather-O-Meter
In the X-W Weather-O-Meter, the test specimens
are exposed to simulated sunlight by filtering carbon
arc light through Corex D filters. During this
exposure, the test samples are sprayed with 32C
(90F) water for 18 min, which is then followed by
a water evaporation cycle at 63C (145F) for 102
min. The whole 2-hr cycle is then repeated for the
number of hours listed in the various tables. There is
no precise correlation between outdoor weathering
and the accelerated X-W Weather-O-Meter tests.
However, it is estimated that 400 to 1,000 hr in the
X-W Weather-O-Meter is equivalent to one year of
outdoor weathering in Florida.

General-Purpose Resins
After 10,000 hr in the X-W Weather-O-Meter:
Rynite 530 NC010 and Rynite 545 NC010
retained over 70% of their initial tensile strength
and 55% of their original elongation properties.
Pigmented Rynite 530 resins retained higher
tensile strength and elongation than the Rynite
530 natural resin. For example, the Rynite 530
black (BK503), white (WT501), gray (GY5054),
and blue (BL503) retain over 87% of their original tensile strength and 75% of their original
elongation properties, Figures 71 and 72.
The Rynite 530 resins listed above retained over
83% of their original Izod impact properties.
The surface of the test samples exhibited an
etched, rough appearance, i.e., the surface
gloss had been significantly reduced and glass
fibers were exposed. There was a slight yellowing of the white (WT501) composition.

Toughened Resins
After 5,000 hr of exposure in the X-W WeatherO-Meter:
Rynite PET thermoplastic polyester resins
modified for improved toughness retained over
85% of their original tensile properties and 80%
of their original elongation at break properties.
The surface of the test bars was etched, but not
chalked.
Flame-Retardant Grades
After 10,000 hr of exposure in the X-W WeatherO-Meter:
Rynite FR530 BK503 black retained 94% of its
original tensile strength and 71% of its original
elongation at break.
Rynite FR530 NC010 natural retained 80% of
its original tensile strength and 59% of its original elongation at break.

Accelerated Natural
Weathering in Arizona
General-Purpose Resins
Rynite 530 NC010 and BK503 and Rynite 545
NC010 and BK504 resins have been exposed
outdoors in Florida and Arizona facing 45 South
for five years. The data determined on these
exposed samples indicate that the resins have
retained over 69% of their initial tensile strength
and over 46% of their initial elongation. As expected, the compositions containing carbon black
have a higher property retention (Tables 13 and
14). After five years, all the test samples were
slightly etched.
General-Purpose Resins
After 500,000 Langleys of exposure in the
equatorially mounted mirror assisted (EMMA)
and EMMA with water (EMMAQUA) environments, Rynite 530 NC010 and BK503 and Rynite
545 NC010 and BK504 resins retained over 90% of
their original tensile strength and 73% of their
original elongation properties. The EMMA and
EMMAQUA environments have similar effects on
the properties of the Rynite 530 and Rynite 545
resins (Table 15).
Test specimens had reduced gloss levels after
exposure. On the average, samples exposed in
Arizona received approximately 150,000 Langleys
of sunlight per year. These tests correspond to
about three and one-third years of natural weathering in Arizona.

Hydrolysis Resistance of Rynite 530 at
100% RH; Times to Reach One-Half of
Initial Property Value
Chemical Resistance
Rynite PET thermoplastic polyester resins exhibit
excellent resistance to a wide variety of chemicals.
Tables 17 and 18 detail the effects of various
automotive-related chemicals, organic solvents,
acids, bases, salt solutions, and water on the
properties of Rynite 530 and Rynite 545 resins
after exposure at various times and temperatures.
These data are based on unstressed test bars that
were molded via recommended molding conditions,
e.g., hot >93C (200F) molds. The resistance of
Rynite PET thermoplastic polyester resins to
certain chemicals (e.g., chlorinated hydrocarbons)
at elevated temperatures depends on the surface
crystallinity of the molded part. Annealed parts or
parts molded in hot molds >93C (200F) will
exhibit good resistance, whereas parts molded in
cold molds may surface craze. We strongly recommend end-use testing be carried out on actual parts
(as opposed to test bars) to determine the suitability
of Rynite PET thermoplastic polyester resins in
any application.

All test pieces exposed to solvent at the boiling point for 5 min.
Immediately on removal from the solvent, the pieces were tested by bending, scraping, twisting, and visual
observation to determine if any change or damage had occurred.
All test pieces were of the thickness indicated 12.5 mm (0.50 in) wide 125 mm (5 in) long.
0.78 mm (0.031 in) stressed specimens were bent through a 180 angle for exposure testing. The 1.56 mm
(0.062 in) stressed pieces were bent through an 80 angle. In both cases specimens were bent as far as
possible without initiating fracture.

Painting
Cleaning the surface of molded parts to remove
dirt, oil, dust, mold release, or other contaminants is
important to achieving good paint adhesion. Parts
may be wiped clean with alcohol, toluene, or other
typical solvents and washes used to prepare a part
surface prior to painting.
Hot Stamping
Hot stamping has been used in a number of applications. A good clean polymer surface is usually
needed, and no one set of operating conditions can
be recommended. Die pressures, temperatures, and
dwell times must be individually determined for
each application; however, die temperatures of
215245C (420473F), dwell times of 0.22.0
sec, and pressures of 1345 psi are common. In
some applications, the temperature of the part and
surface moisture content (time out of the mold)
may also be important.

As every end use has its own requirements for bond strength and durability, the bonded part should be tested under actual
end-use conditions prior to adopting any adhesive system.
In considering an adhesive for evaluation, consider both the end-use environment and the stresses the adhesive must endure.
Pay particular attention to the bond strength requirements, differences in thermal expansion and contraction between the two
bonded substrates, temperature requirements, humidity resistance, chemical resistance, weatherability, and oxidation
resistance.
Questions on any specific adhesive system should be directed to the manufacturer of that system.
