PTT (Polytrimethylene Terephthalate) Compounds
![[cover shot]](ptt.gif)
- Similar to PBT and PET in physical properties and processing characteristics
- More cost effective than PBT or PET
- Alloyable with other resins, such as polycarbonate
RTP Company is leading the way in compounding Polytrimethylene Terephthalate (PTT) for engineered thermoplastic applications. Currently, PTT such as Shell Chemicals' Corterra™ is used in the fiber (clothing and carpet) and film industries. The new RTP 4700 Series PTT Compounds balance the physical properties of PET with the processing characteristics of PBT.
These compounds can incorporate wear additives, flame retardants, conductives, glass or carbon fibers, and/or colors. Key markets include existing PBT (or PET) resin and alloy applications where aesthetics, cost, and/or performance are insufficient.
