HYDEX® 4101 is a PBT polyester thermoplastic that can withstand higher impact than PET polyesters and thus carries reduced risk of part breakage in operation. It is a food grade plastic material that can meet most agency requirements for food contact compliance and is ideal for machined parts in food processing equipment. HYDEX™ 4101 has excellent resistance to typical cleaning chemicals such as chlorine and caustic solutions and has a very low moisture absorption rate, as much as 15 times less than nylon. HYDEX® is a registered trademark of Ensinger. Advantages of HYDEX® 4101:
- Resistant to cleaning agents
- Very good chemical resistance
- Good wear resistance
- Good impact strength
- Low moisture absorption
