1 Introduction
1.1 Foreword
CRASTIN PBT and RYNITE PET are DuPonts registered
trademarks for its thermoplastic polyester resins.
R
PET is based on the same polymer which
is largely used for soft drink bottles with respect to
its good environmental behaviour.

thermoplastic polyester
resins particularly natural and light colours to high
temperatures in air may result in discolouration, depending upon conditions. RYNITE thermoplastic polyester
resins stabilized to minimize discolouration at elevated
temperatures are available. Contact your local DuPont
Engineering Polymers sales offices for specific information.
100
The effect of exposure to high temperatures on the properties of RYNITE thermoplastic polyester resins is given
in Figures 4.1 4.11. These data were measured by exposing test specimens in an oven at various temperatures.
The change in properties over time and temperature was
measured. Oil, grease, water, etc. may have a different
effect on the properties of the resins at high temperatures.
See section 4.4 on chemical resistance (pages 43 to 55).
Tensile strength tests were carried out according to
ASTM D-638; Impact tests according to ASTM D-256.

4.3 Weathering
Introduction
X-W Weather-Ometer
Thermoplastic polyester resins rank high, among engineering polymers, for resistance to outdoor weathering.
The effect of weathering on the properties of RYNITE has
been measured 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 that in
general, RYNITE exhibits good property retention. Overall performance is improved, especially impact strength,
by the addition of carbon black (> 0,3% by weight) to the
resin.

The property values of the exposed samples were compared to those samples which were stored in darkness
in the laboratory at the same time.
The hours of exposure in the sun were measured with the
Schusters Ball.
These outdoor weathering tests were carried out in
Lautertal in Central Germany.

The information contained in the tables on the following pages is derived from laboratory tests and experience in practice. In laboratory tests, unless otherwise
shown, 2 mm thick standard specimens were immersed
in the medium for twelve months. The test results
should be regarded as a guideline, since identical
results may not be obtained in practice. Experience
shows that the wall thickness of mouldings or the ratio
of volume to wetted surface can influence results quite
considerably. Therefore, parts likely to be subject to
exposure to potentially aggressive media should be
tested under practical conditions.

+: resistant
Medium causes no change or only slight change in
strength, toughness, molecular weight, dimension
and weight.
: conditionally resistance
Long term contact with the medium may cause
considerable change in the properties of the moulding. This should be taken into account at the design
stage. Occasional contact is, in most cases, acceptable. Practical tests are advisable.
: not resistant
The moulded component is irreversibly damaged
by short term contact with the medium.
Brief contact (e. g. use of the medium as a cleaning
agent) may be acceptable. Premliminary testing is
advisable.

5.7 Warpage
Warpage is generally caused by non-uniform shrinkage of
the resin. The non-uniform shrinkage may also be due to:
Anisotropic Shrinkage. This factor (difference of
shrinkage in the flow and transverse directions, see
Table 5.3) probably contributes more to warpage
problems in glass-reinforced resins than any other.
Anisotropic shrinkage most often arises because of
orientation of the glass fibres in the direction of flow
which, in turn, restricts normal resin shrinkage. Therefore, any condition that can create an isotropic distribution of the glass fibres will reduce the warpage, i.e.
abrupt change in flow direction, multiple gating, etc.
Non-uniform wall thickness of the part. Whenever
possible, parts should be designed with a uniform wall
thickness. Thick parts should always be cored out in
order to minimize shrinkage.
Mould Design. Typically, round parts should be centregated, and long flow parts should be end-gated.
Processing Conditions. The mould and cavity temperatures must be carefully controlled to prevent uneven
cooling of any part prior to ejection.

Fig 5.3
For glass-fibre reinforced CRASTIN, shrinkage is considerably influenced by the direction in which the glass-fibres
are oriented. As a result, there is a difference in shrinkage
parallel to and at right angles to the direction of flow and
this makes accurate prediction of the shrinkage difficult.
Depending on the fibre orientation, which is determined
by the way in which the mould fills, shrinkage can also
occur between the longitudinal and transverse shrinkage
shown in Figure 5.4. In extreme cases, the difference in
shrinkage may be greater than shown.

The combustibility of C
and R
has been
determined by the FMVSS-302, FAR-25-853-B vertical
burn test, and according to various glow wire test methods. The data obtained are recorded in Tables 6.1 and 6.2.
The RYNITE thermoplastic polyester resins tested by the
FMVSS-302 test comply with the automotive requirements of less than 1072 mm/min. burning rate.

Regulatory compliance
For use in many applications, a material has either to be
approved or must meet the requirements of various governmental or private agencies. This is mainly to protect the
user, the general public or the environment.
Besides meeting such regulations, all products and/or their
constituents have to be listed in the different chemical
inventories. Specific regulations exist for certain application areas like electrical applications or applications in
contact with food.
DuPont makes sure that all materials supplied to its customers are in compliance with applicable regulations for
the material itself.
As a subscriber to the RESPONSIBLE CARE initiative,
DuPont also has accepted to share information and help
the product users to handle, process, use, recycle and
dispose of its materials safely and in an environmentally
sound manner.
For selected specific application areas, DuPont has developed information which will enable the product user to
obtain approvals from authorities or to certify compliance
with regulations.
Please consult with your DuPont representative on availability of special grades, or what alternative materials are
given.
