Xenoy

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Xenoy is a blend of plastics with many industrially-useful properties. It is typically polyester (polybutylene terephthalate, PBT, or polyethylene terephthalate, PET) and polycarbonate (PC): it is often labeled PBT+PC or PET+PC. Xenoy resins can be created with recycled post-consumer PBT plastic, consuming less energy and yielding less carbon dioxide (CO2) in their manufacturing than traditional resins. Polycarbonates are a particular group of thermoplastic polymers. They are easily worked, moulded, and thermoformed; as such, these plastics are very widely used in the modern chemical industry. Their interesting features (temperature resistance, impact resistance and optical properties) position them between commodity plastics and engineering plastics. Polycarbonates do not have a unique plastic identification code and are identified as Other, 7.
